SlickGT1 is on a distinguished road
So I have a theory. You know how our Torque Converters have anti vibration damping, well how likely is is that our failing mounts are making the TC work harder, or out of spec when the engine mounts are shot. I am thinking that with destroyed mounts, a lot of symptoms feel like the trans is going. I will deff know for sure once new mounts are in.

I suggest everyone go and check their mounts. Why? Well because I doubt there are many owners out there that actually floor their car as often as I do. When driving normal with the family, the mounts "seem tight", everything works still. I am shocked at how planted everything is with a torn mount. We are talking about a completely torn mount here, and the car barely shows you symptoms. I mean, if you are used to driving with AC on, you might not even notice it. It really makes that big of a difference.

And yes, I checked my idle rpm with the GT1. I didn't raise it, because like I said, I was 95 percent sure the mounts were bad from day one.
