Clunking noise from under the shifter on acceleration?
hey guys whats up
lately ive been getting this clunking noise coming from the area under neath the shifter area and under the front seats. the sound reminds me of a bad shock but i have no clue what it is as its coming from under where i sit. the noise happens when say ether im taking off from a dig and take off quick or if i hit a large bump on the road while i have the throttle down, so it usually only happens under acceleration. the first thing i though it was is maybe a loose exhaust hanger but that doesn't seem to be the case as ive lifted the car up and everything looks and feels solid. this leads me to believe that maybe it could be like a motor or transmission mount, does that sound about right?
if you could help me out with some input and what i should be looking for that be great

yeah its usually only happens from a dead stop, not so sure if its classified as a thumb though as it sounds like something is moving around
thanks for your input though
also if it is a transmission mount how could i check it, what does a warn out one look like?

my brother didnt tighten my torque arm bracket down good. that scares u when it hits the trans tunnel. it would do it if i let off the gas and hit it again with out hard acceleration. either way ur going to have to get under there to look.
