this is intersting. it kinda freaks me out. when im accelerating or even just cruising along the car runs very nicely. but, lets say im in first and i accelerate to like 15 mph and then just let off the gas. it sounds like my cars innards just fell right out the bottom. and if i coast to a stop(almost) in gear, it bucks pretty bad. im also getting a clunk every now and then when i turn the wheel far right or left. i havent had a chance to get under it and look yet but i cant even think what might be wrong. any ideas?

Maybe ring and pinion gear teeth missing. Drain the trans (again) and look for chunks of metal. Run a magnet through the oil in the drain pan.

when replacing them or installing a new motor, always run the motor at idle before tightening them down, this centers the engine on them, and prvides a smoother ride.
also, they could be shot.

when u break to come to a stop sometimes it shakes like crazy.. but i looked under , and i pulled the weel back and forth and i spoted it, the bushing toward the back of the car ..
this weekend i will replace it, along with CVBOOT on the same side..

I'd check out the CV joints, driveline and motor mounts. I had totally bad front a-arm bushings that I had to replace and they just clunked when I hit the brake but never caused any shakes. My bet is on the CV's or driveline. The clunk you mention could be the bushings but it sounds like you have more than one problem with your car. The slowdown bucking sounds like CV's but you might have the wheel bearings checked as well. How many miles are on this car?
