bad motor mounts?

Post by blackbeauty00 »

I was driving my car today and noticed it was shifting weird. It was like the transmission was shifting hard but the I could feel the motor move. It was like it wanted to jump out of the engine bay. Could it be bad motor mounts?

Open your hood and rev the engine. If it jumps up alot, bad front mount.
