Default Is My Transmission Going Out?

The car does fine if you drive at normal speed, but as soon as you give it gas the least bit hard a crazy popping noise comes from right under the gear shift column. If it gets under any load at all it does this...107,000 miles..maybe it's time?

Sounds like a bad trans mount. I would pull it out and take a look to see if it damaged. Just have to support the trans with a jack and drop the cross member, then two bolts to pull the mount off.

You'll be able to tell once you have it off and look at it. Torn rubber, excessive play or wear, etc. It'll be obvious.
