I did a "burn out" and broke something :(

[FastRidesOnly.com]

so i did a burn out on a concrete driveway. not even a burn out. i just tried to do one by pushing the gas and letting of the clutch and when i did it sound like something hit the concrete but that noise could've been the rear end hitting the concrete since my car is so low. but anyway..after doing the attempted burn out...i go to drive off on a road and i notice that when i shift to 2nd that the shifter stick is real wobbly. so now when i shift to every gear the stick feels real wobbly. what could it be? did i break something loose? a transmission mount maybe? nothing is hanging. i'm going to jack the car up soon and see if i see anything that could be wrong.

Can you be a tad more specific on "wobbly"? My shifter shakes like crazy in 3rd, but thats normal for my car. The gears locked in solid, it just has a bit of travel there.


Random thread hijack here, but some days my shifts (manual) feels stickier than others? How much is it influenced by fluid temps?

one person said its the "bands"..

it feels like the transmission itself is either loose..like a transmission mount broke or something. or it could just be the stick itself

if there's a significant amount of travel, yupp, you popped a mount

sounds like a mount to me. get under the car and take a look at it.

when my buddy's 85 305 popped a tranny mount, you could bobble the gas and watch the shifter move like 1-1.5" up and down

when mine broke it scared the hell out of me. everytime i got into the gas past 1/2 throttle the damn tranny would hit the floorboard lol. happened at the track too, so i was like "great!!!!! i just broke something." lol

haha...broken parts suck...

for the info of the OP, Tranny mounts are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace arent they?

[vanbibber]

Re: I did a "burn out" and broke something :(

ya, about 20 bucks or so for a poly mount. takes about 20 minutes to pull it and replace (it probably takes longer to put the car up on stands than what it does to pull the mount and cross member)

you need maybe 4 tools to do it, a few metric sockets (cant remember of the top of my head but i think it was a 15mm and a 13mm socket) a extension and a ratchet.
