T-5 Question

I test drove a 91 camaro today with a T-5 and it didn't act right. When you let the clutch out in first and second gear, it wanted to jump real bad. As soon as it was in 3rd gear and up, the car would act fine. Has anyone else experienced this same problem? If so, what was the problem?
Thanks

The transmission mount is broken, with the torque arm rear suspension of the 3rd & 4th gen F body, if the trans mount breaks the tq arm will lift the transmission under accel.

Cheap and easily fixed.
