engine mount... so i believe i have a bad engine mount. whenever i stomp the gas and shift into second theres a thud and you can feel it come through the shifter. i climbed under the car, the transmission is firmly in place, that sucker will not budge at all. so all i can think is its the engine mount. is this pretty much it? is replacing it/them straightforward?
edit: also suspecting the u-joints may be the cause

also, excuse my ignorance, but how would i test u-joints?
being on the ramps doesn't take any of the weight of the transmission off of the mount. I would say I was 98% sure this was your problem. Go to advance and buy the energy suspension mount for $28.00.
As for checking the u-joints you have to get under the car and move the driveshaft while checking for play. There are several ways to do this and a few are very dangerous. As I said I would put money on it being the tranny mount!
