Default is this a bad transmission mount?(video)

My shifter moves a bit while driving. With the car on a lift, we couldn't really move the trans by hand, mount APPEARS okay.

Also, I currently have a TON of wheel hop when I get on it and spin. ESPECIALLY when I get on it in 1st, and then hit 2nd gear hard - when I hit 2nd it'll start wheel hopping HORRIBLY.

Car is all stock except for mod list in sig.

sorry for crappy vid, trying to shift with my left hand and record + recorded on my phone.

I can't view the video up at work. Is your main concern the wheel hop? If so, is your car lowered? Do you have lca's and relocation brackets?

I'm concerned with both. However I do have all new prothane motor/trans mounts to go in with my full exhaust, cam, and valvetrain. Just hopen it'll be the end of my problems. No suspension at all yet- will get lcas first

yep i beleive its your trans mount. does it move like that if if just stay in gear and bump gas a little let off then bump again. dont know if that made sense. guess what im asking is does it move when you give it throttle?

Does the trans feel like it hits the bottom of the car when you give it gas?

My guess is trans mount. It depend how bad it gone to. if it completely out, you should really feel it between shifts and when you give it the gas. i have been wrong before. not often but i have
