Q: Transmission mount

asked by on June 23, 2016

Hello. Could you tell me how can I inspect the transmission mount? I want to make sure if the car's jerky shifting is a result of a bad tranny mount or not. For the engine mount, I know we can give it some gas while pressing brake pedal and see the engine movement, but I don't know how to check the transmission mount. Thabk you in advance
