I have an 88 LX 5.0 with quite a few after marked bolt ons. It has 130,000 miles on it and have been a great car for me. Never gave me any mechanical problems really to speak of (knock on wood). Well recently I decided to take it for a spin into the high RPMS in second and do a hard shift into third. To my dismay, the whole car lurched... bad. It kinda felt like the engine and transmission were trying to jump out of the car. I've never noticed this before as my races are usually over when I am in second. Hehe. First sometimes.
Anyway a really hard shift.. even a power shift... from first to second is solid as a rock. No problems. For some reason it's just when I go from 2nd to 3rd. I have new poly engine and transmission mounts too. Any ideas on what it could be? And why it would only affect 3rd gear? Strange... Any help at all would be much appreciated.
