when i accelerate i can see the shifter go up.. and if i change gears and get on it. it seems really rough and sounds like the transmission is rising up and hitting? is that a bad transmission mount or something else?

 

Yes it's the mount.

 

shifter movement is normal when you get on it but if its moving more than normal and actually seems like it is hitting something your tranny mount is definitely toast

 

Stiffer tranny mount'll take care of it. Otherwise normal....

When you accelerate the rear has a tndance to twist upward. Since the Torque Arm is connected to the trans... That and the twisting force ot the engine connected to the trans...

 

i dont know much about trans mounts.. are there more than one? how much am i looking to pay for one and how bad is the labor onit?

thanks for the help guys

 

its about $7 at auto zone or $25 for the Energy Suspenstion one which is poly uath. and takes about 20 min to change. Only one located under the trans.

 

I bought the Energy Suspension one. Pretty cheap. Stiffened it up quite a bit. You'll will have to slightly raise the tailshaft of the trans w/ a screw-jack to get the new one in there. (and to get the old one out) You could do it by hand I suppose if you're on ramps in your dw.Good old brute force. But it'd prolly be a major PITA.

 

thanks guys for the help. i will probably try to do it on my next day off. its been annoying the shiiiiit out of me.
thanks again

 

installuniversity.com has a write up on repalcing the trans mount. http://installuniversity.com/install...sity/index.htm

 

I suggest the energy suspension ones. My local small town autozone had one on the shelf.

 

i got a cheap 6.99 one.. they had a better one for like 25, but they didnt know if it was going to fit.. i put it on and it feels aLOT better.
Thanks for the help guys
