Default noise going into gear.

I have a 99 z28 a4. The tranny has a shift kit Hughes red clutches corvette servos and a recon touqre converter. I mounted it with a poly bushing. I'm using a BMR torque arm relocation x member and BMR torque arm.
When I put it in to gear it sounds like the tranny is shifting and touching something. Its a slight clunk. I feel like its an external noise. It also makes the nosie on the occasional shift. Though it is hard to replicate the noise during shifts. Its a 4l60e

Also the guy who did my tranny put 2 shims on not driver side bolts of the x member. I didn't use these for the new one. Should I have?

Poly bushing -> clunks, vibration and other noises.
You will be much happier with the OEM trans mount.
The OEM mount will also have a bit of "give" to make the torque arm mounting less critical.

I already have the torque arm after cracking a case. I think I'll go back to OEM tranny mount. That poly mount really was annoying at first. I think I got used to it or something.
