So do you have any code's?If it's shifting hard into all the gears then your line pressure is too high.

So you replaced which mounts?The lower square looking transmission one?And the upper engine one by the valve cover?Most of the time when you have a hard shift on that car its a bad line pressure solenoid or a bad pressure regulator.
