Best Answer

usually bad engine mounts

This happened to me once,but I'm not sure if this is your fix. I left the IAT Sensor(intake ait temperature sensor) unpluged by accident.It gave me whiplash everytime it shifted gears. I pluged it back in and it smothed out. It is in between the air filter box and throtal body.On that big black tube,it has 2 wires. OR,,Borrow someone's tube and see if that does any good. Also put some LUCAS Transmission lube in it. Shifting solenoids may be sticking.
