New 1LE mount and still problem I had a clunk under hard shifting and replaced the trans mount with stock 1LE the old was indeed torn, this helped but there is still a clunk and when I accelerate the shifter will rise about a half inch but this seems normal. My torque arm is tight, I don't know what else could be moving to create this? Could it be a bad motor mount, it sounds like transmount/TA problem but I checked everything and it seems tight. Should I try a poly mount? Could it be output shaft play or Driveshaft or something? thanks.

Was your old mount torn across from left to right ? If so your left motor mount is definetly bad. Your new trans mount will be destroyed like the first one if you don't fix the motor mount. I replaced the left motor mount with a urethane one and installed a urethane trans mount and solved the problem.
My shifter doesn't move, I do get a little more vibration but it's liveable.

Where is the best place to buy poly MM's? I was thinkin of doing them and a 1LE tranny mount. Can you usually tell your motor mounts are bad when they are installed? My car only has 26k miles and my shifter will shake good sometimes under hard shifts I think it might just be the crappy stock lca's tho.
