Default Motor mounts

Hey gang stuck wondering whats next now,
recently did my motor and tranny mounts , on my lexus gs400. Shaking has tremendously been reduced sometimes the car doesnt even feel like it on.
But here is the dilema i still feel the awful jerk whenever i put the car in gear.
Out of options, any ideas..

Does this happen even when the car is fully stopped? What gear? How many miles on your GS? Can you give us a little more information.

motor mounts stop motor from jerking around, tranny mounts stop tranny from jerking and moving around.Change your tranny mounts and that should solve your problem.

read bolded text...he ALREADY changed the motor and transmission mounts and it didnt fix his problem. btw there is only one tranny mount not mounts

OP it sounds like the differential bushings, as i said earlier there are many threads on this.

here is your one time with me till you learn to help yourself,specially since your a 2 year old member,look over this thread it has many links in it
