Banging noise, during hard 1st to 2nd shift I wasnt real sure where to post this. The car is pretty much stock as far as mounts go. I get a bang when I shift hard from 1st to 2nd. Are these cars bad about motor mounts going bad? I have had the TA mount and trans mount out and they are fine. I dont know where its coming from unless the engine is hitting something. Everyting is good and tight. I may stick a jack under the oil pand and jack the engine up a little to see if there is movement in the motor mounts.

Where is it banging at? Can you feel it right under your feet? Could be the exhaust hitting the bottom of the car, which could be from bad motor mounts. (that is, if you have your exhaust done) Just a thought.

have a friend get in the car put it in drive, put his foot on the break and give it a bit of gas while you look underneath to see if the motor is torquing over a lot. if the banging is coming from like the center console area probably the motor mount. This is how I found my problem, so Ill be ordering some mounts this winter to fix it in the spring.
