Sorry, our power went out for a few minutes. Okay, when braking do you feel like the engine mounts could be bad like engine rock? To check: E [Brake](/topics-brake-dodge/) on the left foot on brake select D and rev up the engine and the R do the same have one check under the hood when you do this the engine should only very slightly rock if it rocks too much check engine mounts. Greg

Just had new motor mount installed

Okay, so just a hard downshift? Need to get hooked up to a scan tool and check for Malfunction codes as a bad input speed sensor will cause this issue. so first check for (TCM) transmission codes. Greg

Will do thank you
