Crossmember bolt bushings or clutch.

Prothanes are great. Stop blaming great mounts.

That sounds completely normal to me. You will feel any and all of the movements that would be normal from the engine with these mounts. They transfer all of the engines movements through the chassis and it will feel very jerky accelerating, decelerating, and it takes time to get use to driving the car "smoothly" with these mounts. I have them in both my boosted b13 and my ve'd b14 and it's the same in both cars. It's even worse in my b13. It makes everything the engine does feel super responsive and touchy.

yeah it took me a bit to get use to it.. like getting on it real hard then just letting off the gas real quick u could feel the engine move the car.. but its solid as hell and i've gotten use to it. i'll tell ya tho the first couple times did scare be a bit lol.

now if the engines rocking back an fourth continuously while on accel only or decel only then that would not be right..

ps. engine movement is the reason for the flex tube.

The only way I'll know for sure it if I drive another Sentra with a similar setup. As far as I remember The motor mount setup never moved like this in my old b14 that thing was rock solid with the same setup, I banged a up gear, that engine went no where. There just seem to be just a abundance of shit going wrong with my car. Honestly I'm not the one to ask for help all the time, I take pride in figuring it out problems on my own. I ain't no mechanic I'm a back yard guru, I figured this would be the last stand before I axe this bitch and call it a failure. So I'm gathering all the ideas I can.

Yep, it's just a new animal with these mounts. The engine doesnt move, you just feel more of it through the rest of the chassis and shifter.
