Shaky Shifter

Well I got my Eagle back from getting a new transmission mount yesterday
nobody makes the mount for Auto Eagles, so I gave him the part number for the manual one, which has 4 studs on the corners, the auto requres 2, in the center of each side, so he modified it, he said he had an Eagle in years ago and had the same problem and did the same thing, and everything seems more aligned with the shifter and everything for the most part
Now, I manually shift (dumb, I know, but fun) and the shifter really shakes when in first and I accelerate, also shakes in D when I accelerate
Could the mount have gotten loose already?

it's an auto..
the shifter isn't bolted to the tranny..
I'll guess it's a cable, not linkage..
if the mount is making everything shake.. check the bolts crossmember might be loose..
if not.. you got a ruff running engine or a broken motor mount..
I'll bet on the latter

Somewhere there are loose bolts. Since it is on the part the transmission shop was supposed to working on; take it back and make them fix it.
