1-2 shift clunk from rear
I have this clunk coming from the back of my car. My transmission shifts pretty damn hard, and I don't know if the clunk is from driveline shock, or if something is bouncing. It sounds almost like my gas tank is banging against the car or something, but I don't think that's possible.
I occasionally get a small clunk on the 2-3 at light throttle, but barely noticeable. The 1-2 clunk is very loud and apparent...if you guys want, I can get a video.
The rear U-joint on the LS1 driveshaft I installed also seemed to not be as loose as it should. Would a U-joint make a loud bouncing/clunking noise?
Had a poly trans mount in. Now I have a fairly new LS1 mount in, and it seems to be intact. I looked at it the other day, and I can't wiggle the tailshaft at all.
Torque arm mount is polyurethane...

same here light throttle shift of 1-2 makes a banging noise. Did it with the 4l60 does it with the th400. I was told is the shock of the stall converter when it shifts it kinda jolts the drive shaft. I say BS but it has done it with 3 trans so......I guess it has to be.

Mine does the same thing, and I have poly motor and trans mounts, as well as a Jegster Tunnel Mount torque arm. Didn't start doing it 'til the torque arm. My car just shifts real hard, due to my custom shift kit. Seems to be worse when cold. I'll just live with it 'cause I'm hardcore like that.
Check to see if anything is loose maybe?

Check the safety loop if you have one. Also check the rear trans mount. I broke 2, than went aftermarket poly, lol. It kept thumping every time I was on it. I didn't hear it at all riding normally.
