bro , do u think changing my whole tranny with a newer one would solve this? or is this another problem in the other parts of outsidegear? ??

You're going to swap out the transmission before you change out the motor mounts? Did you check under the car and look at what I said earlier?

"-Make sure Bell housing has not started to separate from the block (Should be snug to the block)
-Take off the inspection plate that is right in front of the transfer case and make sure the converter bolts are tight
-Check and make sure the connectors on the neutral safety switch(NSS) plug and transmission control unit(TCU) plug are securely attached and clean. "

if i check those and they are all safe , ( im going to search online for their location etc and in like 2 hours i will reply to u if they are safe or not...) if they are safe , i should go for mount change , if problem still here , i go for transm change right ? this is the correct path, true?
 
You need to correct the known issues and go from there. Yes you could just buy a new transmission and put new motor mounts in when you install the transmission, it's your money and no one is stopping you haha I am saying to check these things because it could prevent you from wasting a lot of extra cash and time.

I am not saying the motor mounts are all you need to fix but we can take this one step at a time to diagnose the problem. It's hard to diagnose a problem like this through the internet rather than being with the car.
