Ever feel a trans move while driving?

[c3pbro]

So the craziest thing happened yesterday while I was driving, I down shifted and it felt like the trans moved forward. This thing has been a ball of problems but now that I sorted out the electrical problems I logged 150 miles on it, and the trans makes tons of noise. It grinds from time to time going gear to gear. I got under the car today and noticed these two bolts going through the crossmember that didn't look right and all my u joint bolts were backed almost all the way out.

Could the missing nuts be causing all these problems?

Worn out motor and trans mounts.

I didn't do the trans and motor swap but I was told brand new ones were installed...

Although the pile of problems I've had since I got it back I wouldn't doubt that they weren't

I've never felt it move forward but definitely have felt it move side to side (think rolling) under hard acceleration

Trying to post a pic of the crossmember but it won't let me

I did all new mounts when I rebuilt my car this last time.

Less then 5k later motor was siting a little sideways when we pulled for current build cause one of the new mounts was jelly.

I would hope they last longer then 150 miles in my case haha.

Solid mounts FTW!

On a real not though, what trans do you have in the car?

Sorry for the late reply, been gone.

I have the t45 in it. I ordered a crossmember from late model resto while I was gone. Tonight I was putting it in, got it mounted but the old nuts off the center two bolts had fallen off the car at some point and I don't know what size they are. Anyone know?
