WTF did I do? Hey everyone. I circulated all the fluid through the gears with my new stall (3800) and it felt alright driving yesterday, seemed like things needed to break in/settle in a little, but nothing too bad. Today I went to drive the car for a little bit. As always, it took higher revs/more gas to get it moving, but once i hit the top of the gear, i felt a rattling under my center console and it was pretty loud. It only happened in drive, not reverse. I'm thinking either my tranny mount is messed up, or maybe it could have to do with the front torque arm mount. Any opinions? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

I don't mean to be an ***....but if you think it might be the front torque arm mount......crawl under there and see if it's loose. Or the trans mount. You can see them much better than we can.
Now if those are tight and it's a rattling sound.......maybe a heat shield, Ypipe, or even loose converter bolts (should have some vibration also)

I'm pretty sure. I checked it, and I had a few buddies over at the time who also have had experience with auto transmissions check it as well. The car isn't going anywhere right now, so I might just open it up again and check it just to be sure. I'm thinking it's torque arm related so I'll check that as well. I'm in no hurry, I mean, ****, it's almost October already, so I won't be missing out on much.
