    I might have figured it out... the floor mat was in the car might have been slightly bunced up and I think I might have broken/crackeds the tranny mount which will make burnout difficult...

    Hoping to compare the shifter travel with some other f-bodies tonight at a meet.

          you may want to look underneath the car before you assume it is broken. cause my shifter moved a lot before and i thought i had broke the mount. but it turned out that one of the two bolts holding the transmission on was totally gone and the other was half way out. just needed a new bolt and to torque them down. i haven't had a problem since.

              yea I broke a bolt in my tranny mount once and then ripped the mount in half later on. Btw you can't decide if the mount is broken by looking at it while its on the car. Take it off and inspect it.

                  I already ordered 1Le had it on my last car and been happy....

                  I have had a broken tranny mount before...

                  symptoms, any jerk in pressure, the shifter moves...

                  First har launch, it will jump 3-4 in, straight up, on a sweeping turn at a fast pace with the suspension under load, slighlty letting in on the thorttle, it bobbles alot... and any forcing of power into every shift, it boucnes, and doesn't have the connected feel to the road it used to...

                  In this case I woudl say I am about 95% sure... I doubt its broken in half, most likely cracked, it didn't feel right, I went flogging the car some, then an autocross, and then it felt downright wrong afterwards probably breaking it the rest of the way...
