Around 40 to 45 mph transmission will slip, not all the time but sometimes. It's an automatic but when it acts up it acts like a manual whereas it acts like it down shifts then as you speed up to 50 mph it engages. Just had top and bottom motor mounts replaced. Still has a vibration when parked. No check engine lights on ever or anything.

Good afternoon,

I would start by changing the fluid and filter in the transmission. A clogged filter will cause this issue.

Also, check the fluid and smell it. See if it smells burned or varnished.
