Default My car is jerking o%f

LOL, well not exactly!!

Whenever i go from drive to reverse i get this jerk, i mean its seems like the whole car moves when i shift!

I'm thinking its a tranny mount or bushing but i wanted to get your opinions before i go and fix anything!!

Thanks for all your input, its greatly appreciated!

i hear clunks are usually caused by bad transmission mounts.. apparently, the shifter vibrates back and forth when you drive

LOL @ all the innuendo's...

Change your transmission mounts, they're relative cheap < $100 for sure and should be an easy DIY fix...
