Slapping Noise when brakes applied
I have a 1971 Cutlass, and I am having a problem when I hit my brakes. This only occurs when I am going faster than say 40mph and I hit the brakes hard. I feel a knocking that vibrates up through the shifter and I hear the knocking noise like somoeone is knocking on your door really fast and the tempo slows as the car slows. I almost feel like it would be my emergency brake pulling tight for what ever reason, but I dont know... Anyone else ever have this problem?

It sounds like it could also be the rear end/differential or universal joints if it's knocking that fast then slows. I would check the U-joints soon, don't want the driveshaft falling off and doing major damage.

Real easy. Should be 3 or 4 bolts. Get the car up on stands or ramps, loosen the bolts, jack up the back of the trans a little to pull the old mount and install the new one. If you don't have tools or equipment and are in Dallas (assuming from user name) I can knock it out for a few bucks. PM me if you need to.
