08 Impala Shifting Noise?

Is this normal when shifting from drive to reverse? I didn’t notice any hard shifting while driving, but there’s a bit of a noise. Just checking if anyone else has experienced this.

Looks like it could be motor mounts. Those can cause some noise when shifting.

Thanks for the tip! Is it a big job to replace them?

Not too bad if you’re handy. Just make sure to support the engine properly while you do it.

I see a lot of movement. Might definitely be motor mounts! Have you checked them?

Not yet, but I’ll take a look. Thanks for the advice!

I had a similar issue, and it turned out to be the transmission fluid. Maybe check that too?

Good call! I’ll check the fluid level as well.

If it’s not hard shifting, it could just be normal wear. Still worth checking out.

Make sure to inspect the mounts closely. If they’re worn, it can lead to more issues down the line.
