Shudder When I let Go of Gas! and Hard Shifting When Going Uphill
I get like a shudder as if I am braking hard and my body moves forward when I let go of the gas. I don't even step on the gas pedal hard. I am stepping on it lighting and once I let go of it I get like a lag feeling and the car feels like I braked and my body lurches forward a bit but the car didn't slow down. I don't feel like it is a transmission problem as it doesn't feel like a shift or anything. And I am not just droppingthe gas pedal suddenly. Unless I don't take like 5 seconds to let go of the gas as slowly as possible, it happens.
Also when i am going uphill, I get a really hard shift from either 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd. I hope its not transmisson problems. These forums scared me like crazy. Everyday that I drive I am watching for any signs of transmission problems. No slipping or crazy jumps to 3rd gear with high revs. The transmission was changed in like Aug. 08' and I just bought the car recently with 124k.

Did you have the let go of gas pedal shudder problem? How do you check your front mount? I wanna do the 1 person watching while other steps on brake and gas but I need a second person. I heard that you can check the front mount by looking for oil leaks but other than that is there anyway?

is too sexy for his shirt
i used a shop lift at school but im sure u can squeeze down there if u want. the mounts are right under the transmission between a brace and the actual tranny. theres a front and back one and yes it leaks

the front one is directly down behind the radiator and the most common to fail
the oil leak is pretty obvious on the driveway- a few drips- or from underneath looking up and see the trail out of the mount
other method- with park brake set and wheel blocked so no one gets run over!!!!!
Have trusted friend put car in D and rev engine while holding brakes on
Do same in R
If a bad mount,, you, standing safely to the side of car- will see the engine jump with throttle application and release

Yeah, I live in the city so its kind of hard for me to do both of them. Especially since I don't wanna leave my parking spot or else I will have to spend like an hour to find another one. I'll check it with a friend when I have time as I cant jack it up. I'll see if I have any oils leaks tomorrow too. It's weird because I don't feel it all the time. Only sometimes when I let go of the trottle I feel it. But if so many people say it is, it probably is.

these are expensive==120 bucks or so depending on dealership
and fluid filled is very strange,, plus vac boost for some years!!
test them with `the friend` method-
you will need a place to raise the car and support the motor with a floor jack and wood block to change the mount
it will be a few drops- like 2-3 just behind the radiator on the ground when you move the car back to see-- a strange hydraulic fluid unlike anything you have felt in your fingers..or it might all be gone by now but trail will exist from it
high miles failure- NO- these are found bad at warranty trans time-60-80kmiles and they are gone!
left bad and the pass side mount takes extra load then fails- keep going and more will fail in turn until the entire eng and trans is barely hanging in the car
