when ever i try to take off and try to keep it in the 1000-1500 rpm range the car shakes and i know im not taking off wrong or nething. but is this due to bad motor/transmission mounts? because i know that whenever i shift at high rpms the car will feel like the engine is about to drop. also theres a lot of vibrations in the shifter. or could that be because the shift linkage is loose? any ways could anyone help me out?

 

Can you please define by what you mean by "Shakes"

 

does it seem like its coming from a certain side of the car?

shaking as in the whole car/motor shakes as if it were going to stall. and no matter how hard i try to get it to take off around the 1k rpm range it shakes. so to avoid this i have to get it around the 1500-2000 rpm range just to get it to take off without it shaking.


and the shaking doesnt seem to come from a "certain" side.

but yea does ne one know why the shifter shakes? or moves around?

also today my friend said i need a valve adjustment so would the valves needing to be adjusted have anything to do with why the car takes off roughly?

 

look at the mounts... see what kind of shape they are in.
