Default Problems...

alright so took the car to the track today ran it twice everything goin good last run i was doing i get to the end my car starts jerking really bad, so first reaction is oh shit trannys goin out, but starting driving around some more and keep hearing metal on metal clicking on the motor would jump really bad, and i dunno through first and second gear it was horrible clicking and felt like the engine was jumping and liek something was dragging but nothing was, got home barley, popped the hood backed up had a friend watching and he said the motor bounced back and up like 3inches so im guessing now that my motor mounts broke but not sure... any suggestions on whats up with it.. thanks

Well I would check the motor mounts for starters. Look to see if they are torn.

alright well checked the mounts out.. looked like one was cracked but could just one mount being cracked make the motor jump like that... im beginnin to think its the axle because the metal on metal sound is alot worse when im turning but i dunno could be the transmission .. kinda at a lose here.. just really pissed bought the car, 2 weeks later had to get new fuel pump, timing belt, one cv axle, o2 sensor for exhaust, crankshaft belt, water pump, and get one motor mount replaced(1,200$), and that was right after buyin the car which i was already pissed about and now his.. i cant keep putting this kinda money out .. hopefully nothing else goes wrong after this fix

Well a bad axle wouldn't cause the motor to move like that. A bad axle could make a clicking noise when it's turned and moving like you said. It's hard to diagnose a sound without being there to hear it.
