No transmission codes. When i out it in gear and drive it it's sluggish with a weird noise coming from the engine area. Put it in park and it's gone. When i turn it goes and comes. Most likely this mount? Has some engine codes but no check engine lights. I deleted them and they went away.

Hi,

The mount certainly appears to need to be replaced. There is a chance the engine torque is moving the engine far enough to allow it to touch a component and make that noise.

Try this. Open the hood. Have a helper (parking brake on and foot on brake) start the engine and put it in drive. While this is being done, you watch to see how far the engine moves. If not far, have the helper (brakes still on) gently press the throttle to see if the engine is lifting or moving excessively.

Try that and let me know the results.

Take care,

joe

Hi,

When you get help, give that a try. Let me know what you find or if possible, video it and upload it so I can see how much play there is.

Take care,

Joe
