I'm 99% sure it's a broken tranny mount that is giving me such a hard time, but I want to make sure. This sound like one? If I take a turn or just give the car gas too quickly from a stop, the middle or console of my car sounds as if it is going to just fall right through. HUGE clunk if I go to fast. I haven't went WOT in probably a month because of this...and the fact that I have a really warped(stretched, whatever) TB cable. But does that sound like a tranny mount to you guys? I'll most likely replace it with a poly tran. mount. Anyone with experience on them? Thanks.

BTW, just for a story, I went to a GM dealership just to see on prices. I knew they would be outrageous. They told me it would take 3-4 hours to replace my TB cable and probably looking at $300. My jaw dropped. A guy in my local F-Body club said he could fix it in five minutes...so I guess I'll be letting him do it. I asked him about the tranny mount as well and he said $400 for the parts and labor. Dealerships are just ridiculous.

 

yep sounds like a tranny mount.. they are like 30 bux for a poly one.. change it in 15 minutes.. the throttle cable is just as easy

 

Yep, trans. mount. $35.00 at summit. Less than an hour to install. Where are you located?

 

This happened to me as well. Definately a tranny mount from the sounds of it.

 

Yes mine did the same exact thing . easy to fix

 

Thanks guys. You've helped a lot.

Anyone have experience with Energy Suspension mounts? Likethis.

 

Nevermind. Found the Prothane poly mount on Thunder Racing for $22.99.

 

I am having similar problems but mine happens when the tranny shifts from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 1st most of the time is when it is loud enough to hear. It probably does it every shift a little. But sometimes it is just a lot louder than others at very low throttle at about 1700 RPM when the tranny shifts. It is a loud "thump" or "knock" sound coming from under or somewhere behind the console. It is really worrying me because it seems to be getting louder. It seems like the longer the trip is, the louder it gets. It also makes a noise when i turn the car slowly with no throttle. The tranny shifts fine, it is just the noise when it does shift sometimes at low throttle. My car is an A4 with 76k on it. Also, when i put it in D or R sometimes it will make a little clanking noise, dont know if that has to do with anything or not though. Maybe a U-joint or something. But guys im desperate i really need your help and opinions. Thanks

 

To be honest i have broken everyting in my driveline "EXCEPT" my poly mount.. Hmmm never thought of it like that.. haha i have the energy suspension's one.. but i don't think there is a big diff between the other brands...

 

Why don't you fix it yourself? No place to work? It is really one of the easier things to fix on your car.

 

i find working on my own car good like drugs but not the bad side effects . I love fixing things and feeling good about it. u should at least get a jack and do the easy stuff. fluid changes and brake pad changes and fixing a tranny mount . good luck

 

Got my prothane poly mount at Summit for $28 shipped or thereabouts. Takes all of 15 min to do. Throttle cable should be easy to do. I got my new one right with me ready to yank that ASR .

 

Everyone has said it already. Mine did the exact same thing when i first got it, i thought it was going to be hard but it's very simple.
