Tranny is good fluid is good to i am also haven alotttt of heavy vibration from the motor to the point where the steering wheel shakes i know have alll valve cover bolts it idk what could be wrong i almost did not make it up today also i noticed that my timing belt flaps alott on the side that goes down to the crankshaft

valve cover bolts will not make the car run good or bad.

if the timing belt is that loose i would verify the mechanical timing on it.
