transmission problem
ok, i have a 65' with a 302 2v and a t10 transmission, well as of lastnight, i was driving and i shifted into 2nd gear and felt ballsy and gave it gas and my shifter just LEANED to the right like as if the transmission ROLLED to the right but... the transmission bracket is completely intack with the transmission and bolted to the car, so... i have no idea what its doing that?! could it be from the spline from the spindel of the transmission into the engine and somewhere in its causing the shifter to lean?! :[ im so lost on why its doing this.

Congratulations! You are in need of motor mounts
Ok, seriously. What's going here is that your left side motor mount has broken/separated, allowing engine torque to pull the engine and tranny away from the mount. Replace the motor mounts and you'll be fine.
Before you install the new mounts, you may consider drilling a large hole through them and bolting them together with a grade 8 bolt and locknut. Don't crank the nut down too tight, just enough to snug it up. This will keep your mounts from separating under load. M+ does this to their '65 race cars, or at least they did prior to the Ron Morris adjustable mounts.
