Hello all,
I had similar shifting problems also. My tranny would grind when going into 4th and it was difficult to go into certain gears. My problem was my mounts, They kept breaking...even with the front mount insert which i think is garbadge. To solve this problem i stuffed the openings of the mounts with hard rubber and then i used something called "Window Weld", it is a very strong Polyurathane that comes in a tube. I used this to fill the remaing spaces in the mount. I also used the window weld for the side mounts and rear mount, works excellent just as strong as a solid mount but no vibration. Now my tranny or motor does not move on hard launches. Window Weld in my area cost about $12 at my local auto parts store.
