Alright so quick story for answer

my brother had my car before me, used to race alot illigely, i have it now. when im driving the shift **** and the whole thing jump. what might be the problem here? something loose? it seems to slow my shifts down because the jump.

 

were talkin bout a 5spd or automatic?

 

5 speed

 

sounds like your tranny mount may have broken. thats just by going by what you said. if the whole stick and everything is literally bouncing up. that or your braces that are right under the center console (under the car itself) are loose. start there

 

Trans mount

Very easy to change out, takes longer to crawl under the car than to do the work

Cheeeeeeeep too, a stock one is like $12

 

make sure you get the good polyurathane mount, not the cheap one. or you will rip it apart with ur TQ. but yeah tranny mounts are easy, you dont even have to take anything off accept the old mount

 

Granted, you can tear up just about anything if you try hard enough, as evidenced by the OP's situation; but ... "necessary" is a bit of a stretch, if the OP isn't dead-set on tearing it up like his car's PO apparently was.

One thing you might run into however, is the legendary "fluid-filled" or "hydraulic" mount... it's no longer available, and if you find it, will be just STOOOPID expensive. However, its crossmember is different, and doesn't allow you to use the $12 version; but you can just get a regular one at the junkyard and do away with that, and use the regular mount.

 

ok so does anyone have any pics of what to look for? and yes as soon as i hit a bump or something my **** jumps up. my brother thought it was a broken tranny. thankfully you guys said no.

 

this should help ya. full page from summit with a buncha tranny mounts. while ur down there (under ur car) check ur tranny crossmember. that might have come loose too. just an idea
