Downshift 3>2 car pops out of 2nd almost immediately.
accelerate in 2, no problem
decelerate in 2, pops out.

I think what is happening is that when deceleration happens a failed front motor mount is allowing the engine to "flop" and that pulls the car out of gear. Is this at all possible, or am I looking at a rebuild?
