Got a 99 TL with about 130k miles. Automatic. Runs great. This isnt a big deal to Me but was wondering why it does this?

Like when I am in park and and put it into reverse, & take it out of reverse & put it in drive, when it switches gears you can feel the whole car kinda jolt/buckle and it makes a noise when it changes gears also. Its not to smooth of a transition.

I always try and be completely stoped changing gear directions. But why does it do this?? Tranny? What if I change the tranny fluid? Would that help?

 

When was the last time you replaced your motor mounts?

 

never?

 

lol. its about that time

 

What are the purpose of motor mounts? I am unfamiliar with their purpose? Thankx

 

To keep the motor in place and get rid of vibrations and such things your feeling. The mounts on our cars have about a 30-50k life expectancy. There have been a few with really bad mounts have symptoms like you described. You may want to look into them.

 

thanks bro!

 

What a crappy "luxery" car, stupid thing jolts when changing gears...

 

really? will i also have the 30-50K? 2003 TLS

now come to think of it, when i do start the car some times, i do hear a clunk...

Have about 60K miles or so.

How hard are they to change? Is this a dealer part? I have heard that one of the mounts are electric or something? Thanks!!

 

Way to make a useless post to get your post count up.

Only usefull comments are appreciated.

 

Sorry. I was only trying to make fun of your useless spelling skills.

 

Who the f*ck are you webster? Must be super bored huh? This website is for people seeking usefull info and to help each other out. Not assholes that surf around to make snide remarks because they aint got no life. Beat it.

 

LOL, people say things, take it easy. You my friend have only been here for less than a month, and telling people to beat it? haha

 

haha. See cause this happen on all kind of forums, dudes go on them not to be cool and help others out but to be stupid. Then just like now the thread takes a turn to be meaningless. You got 48 posts yourself, are you a mod? No.

Please dont post in My thread if you arent saying anything about the thread topic.

 

Anyone have a jolting movement and a noticable noise when getting into gear or reverse?

 

Please stop the personal insults, you two.

 

Not wanting to hi jack the thread but might as well, where is the transmission mount? I feel a jerk when it shifts from 1st to 2nd when i vtec. I cant seem to find it

 

Its probably not those but your engine mounts. The trans mounts can be seen thru the drivers side wheel well. They are under the trans and kinda small. (2 of them)

 

Front and side should take you a 2 hrs or less to change. Those are the ones that most frequently fail. You can buy them at the dealer or the link below cheaper

I am guessing you need an engine lift for this?

 

No. Do one at a time, all you need is a floor jack.

 

nice! thanks alot, will do this on sunday. I can feel a jerk when the tranny downshifts when stopping and a bit of a jolt when going from park to D or R. oem mounts 150k miles
