Default Clunking sound

Ever since i installed my poly trans mount my shifts have been more promanent and slight clunking sound while downshifting in all gears. But yesterday the car would make a clunking sound changing to and form reverse and drive and the downshift clunks have been louder and it now does it when i come to a complete stop.

I dont think my tranny is going bad it still shifts great just makes this annoying sound.

What do you think it could be?

Sounds like u-joints to me. Check all the bolts etc. Mine still does this though. Its just allowing the sound of rear end/tranny/ujoint slack to carry to the rest of the car since the mount isnt rubber anymore.

I found another thing today. it makes the sound when going over some bumps also. im going to check tomorrow and see what it is. the fact that it does it on bumps also eases my thoughts that it is the tranny. Also i noticed that when i weave the car back and forth down the road it seems like the rear of the car takes longer to follow the front of the car if you know what i mean, the car seems less responsive to turning now.

I hope this helps.
