I dont know exactly what is making this noise, but its driving me nuts! When i give it any kind of gas over a 1/4 pedal as it shifts there is a loud banging noise under my center console, like something is smacking it. I had the car up today to install a cai, while it was up i checked out the bar that goes all the way across the trans. It did not appear broken. I have no idea what this could be, any ideas?

 

Transmission mount buddy just replaced mine today they say to buy an enery mount? it soudns like someone is hitting your car with a hammer and under complete acceleration your console pops uP~ new transmount

 

Thanks, do you know how much they cost, and how many there are on the A4? I wonder,if i should get some type of high-performance mount,to prevent this from happening again.

 

mine makes a sound like that when it shifts gears, sometimes i dont hear it but i definetly hear it when i shift up manually. thats not a trans mount is it? I dont run my car that hard and only has 37k miles. I thought the sound was normal lol

 

you only need one and i just bought mine from autozone for 22.00 its the energy mount and the mount if you look under your crossmemeber what holds your tramsnimission in place you'll see a rubber block once you unbolt that , the block will fall apart and youll see how it comes together its simple took me about 30 minets?

 

sounds like a cheap easy fix, I like it. Thanks for your time!

 

no problem, im still learning myself!

 

what year is yours? I have a 94 Z28

 

when i first got my license i blew a tranny mount and it knocked my console really hard like you described. it cost me $18 for the part and took about 20 minutes to install. i used 2 jacks, 1 to hold the car up a bit (with stands too) and 1 to hold the transmission in the exact location it was so that i could pull the crossmember all the way off without worrying about any movement. just make sure you match the way the old mount was installed and make sure everythings secure.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I just finished installing an anchor mount for the Trans. $27 from AutoZone guaranteed for life. I am not too good with a wrench and it took me only 25 minutes.
