When you get on it, the motor rocks. If there's a failing connection in the wiring, it can open up, then re-close when you let off and the motor returns to its normal position.
There are a couple grounds attached on the bell housing around 8 and 10 o'clock, as I recall. I would start there and inspect those wires to be sure they don't have any breaks in them. Also, check any wires near the motor mount bracket you replaced. Perhaps that disturbed some of the wiring. That is, perhaps a wire got pulled loose in that area.
HTH.
