EVERY TIME I DRIVE FAST AND THROW MY CAR INTO 2ND GEAR IT MAKES SOME TYPE OF GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I DRIVE NORMAL IT GOES IN NORMALLY FINE. IF ANY ONE CAN HELP EITHER REPLY OR E-MAIL ME THANX.
 
You need to stiffen up your motor mounts. Get inserts for them or have a machine shop make them solid for you. Engines twist when they are winding up and stock mounts are rubber so when you are to the floor and your engine is pulling like that it makes it harder to shift because everything is "bending". That's why good mounts are so important.
 
Energy Suspention sells inserts for about 80 bucks but you can do the same thing with a cutting board from wal mart. Check out the article about motor mounts on vfaq.com. There might be something on here too. This is the best site for DSM. Oh and no prob at all glad to help.
