Could be a failed transmission mount. Had one go bad on me once the tranny hits the top of the tunnel. Is your shift *** moving up and down? If so its the mount.

Tranny mount or torque arm mount. Could be both. Torque arm mount can look just fine till you take it off and flex with and mess the rubber. If it's bad, you'll see tears, split, most likely hidden as mine were. Although mine made it sound like something was smacking the rear end of the car. A bad tranny mount will make it sound like it's hitting right under the console, which it is.

Sounds like it could be a transmission mount or torque arm mount. You should be able to jack the car up and visually check both mounts and see if there is an issue with them. If it is banging that hard it should be something pretty easy to find. If you run into anything crazy or have any questions you have my number.
