Default KC Auto drops out of 'Drive'

My KC Laser drops out of Drive unexpectedly. Have replaced front engine mount a couple of times! cannot find out why engine mount rubber breaks and if this is related to jumping out of "D". Any assistance would be most appreciated.

too much engine movement - can you buy a better quality engine mounts
or fit an extra engine damper to stop forward movement
the movment may cause the cable to pull the selector out of postion

If drive comes back with a bit of fiddleing in the shifter then it isnt a gearbox problem

Check the gearbox mount and the rear engine mount

Thats whats causing the front mount to go all the time, as well as slipping out of drive.

My old pulsar's gearbox and rear mount were gone, and couldn't hold 2nd or 4th, as the engine was pushing the gear selector rod backwards(causing the stick to move forwards)
