Okay so I was driving around in my Z/28 with a couple of homies in a lame-o honda. Anyway, we were at a stop sign so I diceded to go into neutral and rev up a bit (since dude just got an exhaust and thought it was cool, but wasn't). Any moron knows not to kick it into gear (with an auto) while revving. Don't worry, I let engine return to idle before I popped it into drive... But I failed to remember to let the tranny get into gear before I start to leave. I didn't step on it, I treated it like I was rolling from a stop light. But, nontheless I gave it some gas when it was getting into gear. The whole damn center console jumped up (not literally, lets just say I thought I blew the trans)! I slowly gave it gas just incase the trans was damage. It was okay. Shifts okay, but I just can't give it too much gas from a start. Basically, I think I busted a tranny mount. I have seen some on www.rockauto.com for about 10 bucks. Plus it was highlighted so I assume it is a common fix.
Sound like my problem?

Thanks

Yeps sounds like you busted the mount. Easy fix.

You can see pictures from fixing mine here.

 

Great! Thank you sir!

 

Yeah the first time that happened to me I was REALLY freaked out haha. I guess they just wear out over time.

 

Go with the Poly mount this time instead of the stock one, then you won't run into this issue again.

 

polys run stiffer than stock. just be prepared for that.

 

yup much stiffer but last sooooo much longer !!

 

ya, with a broken tranny mount it will feel like the trans is coming up through to center console when you step on it. It's like a 15 dollar part, and a easy fix. Don't take it to a shop, or if you do, give them like 10 bucks, it takes like 5 mins. Don't buy into a half hour or hour book time and end up way overpaying for it.

 

Ive got a bad tranny mount on my Eclipse. when i try to accelerate up hill or on the freeway in higher rpms it shifts hard.. but theres a million DSMs between the 2 local junkyards and i can get a used one that i inspect personally for 20-30 bucks.
