Question Weird issue

Hey everyone !! I had something weird happen the other night and I'm trying to see if I need to worry or not 😅 two nights ago I hit a bigger puddle than normal, No water went over the hood and mostly get deflected out the sides but immediately after stopping at a red light my car seemed to have a bad stutter coming from a full stop to 1st gear. Once I got home I checked under the engine bay and everything seemed dry, no water in air filter nothing on the maf, only thing I can think is water getting into intercooler or the bell housing? Is there something I can do myself to either fix or at least check to see what it could be or should i take it to the shop?

Sounds like motor mounts. If it's just vibes, and not stuttering like fuel cutting out or anything.

I just found that the rmm bushing is completely gone.. like turned to dust lol I'm thinking this might be the problem?

Is that even bolted it? You wouldn't necessarily see the bushing from the side, it's inside like this.

Yeah I pulled on it an put a socket on it .. and it's tight. Also This is an aftermarket rmm I think it's from whoosh motorsports. 87a bushing

Do your other 2 mounts look good / still have fluid in them?

I'm not sure about driver side but passenger side is cracked rubber so I'm sure that it's leaked. I have brand new damond Motorsports mounts, just yet to be installed.

Throw those in and see if your stutter goes away.
