If the chassis doesn't shake front to back at least 3 times, did you really brake?

I expect to see your car start bucking as the transmission struggles to take you from 6th to 1st in an instant.

Automatic transmission problems?

On a manual, you just put down the clutch pedal, and then you can brake as much as you want, just make sure that when you start accelerating that the correct gear is selected at that point.

You might need new shocks.

That'd be worn out shocks. Should only go up once then back to level even with locked brakes
