Default tranny moving?

when my car spins the tires in second it makes it so hard to hit 4th i feel like my trans moves. but if i dont spin i hird 3rd everytime. could it be my motor mounts, they have 40k on them and there stock. also if i let the rpms go down to low in first it bucks but i can hear the tq arm moving around could my tq arm rubber mount in the bracket be bad o and i just replaced the trans mount

poly motor, tranny, and tq arm mounts solved that problem for me.

the motor mounts made the biggest difference for me though

i had them put it when i did my headers. the difference is amazing.

when i did the trannh mount about a year ago i really didnt feel anything different. when i did the tq arm mount i noticed less banging during hard shifts. the motor mounts were night and day though; the difference is amazing. theres not a lot of vibration like everyone claims; my tranny and motor barley move anymore
