bad front motor mount cause shifting issues?

could a bad front motor mount cause rough gear engagement?

If you have a bad motor mount replace it. does it have a hard time going into gear at idle? if so i would look closer at the condition of your clutch hydraulic system.

My intial reaction is no. However more people should comment on this.

i would say no as well. when i first bought 927/1000 it had no front motor mount in it at all and that car shifted fine.

The mount won't effect shifting. The clutch line and shift cables will flex and move with the trans. Now if you had cables getting pinched with a LOT of engine movement, possibly then it might cause an issue. I highly doubt that is the issue though.

it has trouble going into first and third. second and forth are fine sometimes reverse will be 4th and i have not been into fifth yet i throw it in 1st and let off the clutch, start to pull of and it pops out of gear, but when i hold it in gear it stays in 1st. The car did have a sloppy clutch pedal and i could not get into gear while running. i threw in brass bushings and welded it fixed, problem solved. i also remove my shifter assembly to shorten the lever a lil while back way before the car ran. could the shifter assembly base be off and cause this issue?

Yes, sounds like you need to adjust the cables first. Try that and see how it feels.

i would agree cable adjustments are needed.

Make sure your cable retainer on the trans is tight....
