engine rocking/jump when I change gears

[TravisAe86]

IDK what the problem is guys. I been from Mechanic to mechanic. First everyone thought it was bad engine mounts. Okay so I change all of them...changed the rear mount today...the car & engine still jumps badly when I put the car drive & reverse...the car does a little jump forward when I put it in drive...it feels horrible...like the engine is trying to get out the hood.

Now they are saying its the transmission...that is what im tryin not to hear...it could be a bad transmission control module...idk

Any of you guys experience this engine rocking which moves the whole car?

i think they're speaking of tranny mounts...

[TravisAe86]

oh my lord. y has no one has ever mentioned that to me...none of the techs ever brought tranny mounts to me...wasted time and money changing engine mounts...sigh


So bad tranny mounts will cause the car and engine to rock...the car luges forward when I put it into drive.

How many mounts does the tranny have? I'm looking it up right is showing me there's a center & front mounts...

well 2 there a huge rubber block that sit all the way on the driver side and one on the front that looks like a hydrolic shock. ummm a few threads ago there a real basic diagram to make that front one.

I've heard that shifting into D & R after adjusting the trannys' shifter cable that connects from your TB to the tranny makes it harder than normal to shift. Not the effort just the jump when it slams into gear. You didn't happen to mess with this did you?
