Question The car is acting funny

this just started today. when im at a dead stop and try to go, the engine shakes and it feel like "a little wheel hop". Now its hard to get it into 2. its not the sazme at all. what do you think it is. I dont do burned outs. So i know its not from that. So what do you think it could be and is there anyone out there that this has happen to?

Sounds like something wrong with the transmission and its mount. Nevertheless you should get that checked out.

its not wheel hop guys, hes talking about starting out slow
after my car broke in, and esp after i got my ingalls

i started to notice the same thing but mines below 1500 about when i go slow

i think its cluth chatter actually or just vibes from the dumpy mounts in this car...

if you know what to look for, monkey under your car and check out your trans mounts....see if all looks rright

if your really worried, take it to the dealer, but mine and every other performance car ive ever driven has done this...

so yeah
hope that helps

It could also just be that you are starting off too slow with not enough fuel so the rpm fluctuate like the car is going to die jsut give it a little more gas. The more i get into this though the more confused i get myself lol. If anything check it out just to make sure it wont hurt.

getting into 2nd is wat really is bugging me though so im not sure.
