    So this just started happening when i drive and accelerate at a slow or fast pace my car will sputter or vibrate when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear i thought it was sometimes but now its constant any suggestions? Broken transmission mounts maybe or engine mounts?

    First I would check the transmission fluid level.

    Not sure what you mean by "sputters". If the engine sputters that usually means an engine issue. A vibration would be something entirely different.

    Auto or manual transmission?

    When were the spark plugs last changed?
