Default Trans hitting tunnel under hard accel.

Just picked myself up a long time coming 2000 WS6 TA and love it. Has usual mods, cam, headers, etc. When i punch it the trans or driveshaft hits the tunnel? Wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Hasn't cause any major problems yet but figure i should get it taken care of before it does. Car has aftermarket steel driveshaft with loop and a S60 for a rearend. Crawled under there and didn't see anything alarming at first sight nor did i even see a mark where it would be hitting. Im 99% positive that i have the right location or close to but can't see all that well and figured id give a shout out and see if anyone has had a similar problem before i just go shooting in the dark? Thanks in advance.

check your tranny mount, and make sure everything is tight there.

I didn't even think of that, that could very well be the problem.
