is my tranny mount broken?

okay i think my tranny mount is broken but want to make sure a little tight on money.

Okay when i have it at wide open throttle i hear a thud like right behind the console or some where back there and it only does that when i go forward at wot but when i take a turn and floor it it dosent do that also when i floor it and i get to 80 it sort of feels like it slips out of gear but i let off the throttle a little then it goes in to 4th and the rpm isnt at redline but if i floor it again all the way down to the floor the rpm shoots back up .

Here's the decision tree for a trans mount:

Is it a stock, or a stock replacement, mount?

Yes: it's broken.
No: Is it polyurethane?

Yes: Might not be broken.
No: It's probably broken.

Pretty involved logic....

I'll have to do a Powerpoint flow chart of it sometime.

hey mine was broke yesterday, my 700 hit the floor too. Another way to tell is have someone jamp the brakes put it in gear, and with the hood open, give it some gas. A good brake torque will tell you. If you see the rear of your motor come up like mine did, it's broke. I bought a stock replacement for like $8 to get it fixed but I'm going to order a poly one. Hope this helps.
