So today, I noticed something strange. When I went from park to reverse, there was a jerk. So I tried it from drive to reverse, it jerk again. Every time I went to reverse, the car jerk. I'm thinking that the motor mount is the problem. Could some one please confirm on this? Thank you very much.

 

front motor mount (behind radiator) goes out on these cars all the time
trick fluid filled and vac assisted no less- with price to reflect its trickness~

look under car for a few strange fluid drops
or look from below at the mount for oil traces
look from above for flattened look to bushing
Use prybar to test mount
or
Test mount old school style- with trusted friend at controls!!!!
use blocks on both sides of a wheel so the car isnt going anywhere~

car in drive- foot on brake- rev engine to 2000 quickly and release
do this a few times in D and R
any movement? an inch or 2 of movement?
guess what!!!
Note Stand to the side of car while doing this

 

anytime after 50k warranty expires is right on schedule for the mount failure~
Drive with it bad long enough and the side mount fails from extra load

failed mount also causes mystery vac leak

 

im thinking tranny cuz it happenn to me on my 03 tl

 

Could it be the transmission fluid? For some reason the shift doesn't seemed smooth. Also today when I go from park to reverse there is a strange chirping noise. Then I tried it from Neutral then to drive, but for some reason when I press on the gas pedal the car doesn't want to move right away. I just hope its not the transmission.
Can someone please help me solve this problem? Thanks.
