Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2000 Boxster S and sometimes it bucks or jumps up and down in 1st when I take off. I have to slow down and it stops. What do you think the problem is?? I am thinking a bad clutch?? Car has lots of miles on it.

POST 2Original post

Others will jump in but my guess is the transmission mount is bad...take a look at the engine mounts as well.

POST 3Original post

Get a buddy to follow you while you take off. Get your buddy to keep an eye on your tail pipe in relation to the bumper. If the tail pipe moves up and down more than 1/2" your motor mounts/trans mounts are shot.
