hey everyone, i need some help. i just recently was driving and my shifter would always go up and down while driving and when i get off the gas...its werid i know. but when i was driving the other day i heard a loud bang from the rear end and now every time i drive it really goes up and down, and it sounds like im dragging something but im really not and im talking about a real loud noise...i folowed it as my friend drove it and the whole back end would bounce every time he got off the gas and i thought my exhaust was going to fall off as well.. my friend thinks its a tranny mount or a motor mount....i think its a motor mount bc thats my opinion, what do you guys think??

 

These are straight up symptoms of a cracked power plant frame (PPF). Do a search on it.

 

but the car drives fine when i give it constant gas...does that mean anything?

 

Yeah it means the PPF is broken. Stop driving it until you've got it repaired or replaced. Replacement is the best idea.

 

you mean the aftermarket one that a see pretty much everyone selling??

 

?

 

I just asked a friend of mine the same question. Cause I remmeber my shifter moving abit and he told me if the shifter moves its most likely a mount broken somewhere.. Put your FD on a lift and begin inspection..

good luck

 

just get someone which can weld to tig it back together and perhaps get a peice of 1/8 peice of chromemoly or even mild steel welded to reinforce it.
