Default Anyones driveline feel loose? Mine does HELP

Whenever im shift nicely it feels like the slack in the driveline absorbs the power and doesn't make my car lurch forward, you can just feel the driveshaft move down then up. When i purposely shift at low RPM's and drop the clutch the car doesn't lurch at all, I can just kind of feel the whole entire driveline shift up then down. I have a new 1LE tranny mount and its not broken. I recently put in 1LE sway bar and poly bushings and links and it seems to of helped but not cure it. Any suggestions? I'm thinking its my torque arm and all the abuse its suffered. I'm planning on getting the BMR torque arm as soon as i get the money. I think adjusting the torque arm will probably help. Am i wrong or right? I really need help!!!

sounds like the same thing ive got going on. i have a 93z28 6 speed that has slack in the drivetrain and has for some time.i know what you mean when you say its mushy and seems like it eats power. i put in a moser 12 bolt and a spohn ta thinking that would fix it but it didnt. ive figured out its the tranny by jacking the car up and turning the wheels by hand , and i can see when it stops and starts turning if its at the rear or in the tranny. i also have a clunk when i engage the clutch and the slack is takin up in the drivetrain. the driveshaft and u-joints are brand new and i just put in a new throw out bearing and input shaft bushing. i would check your ta bolts to make sure they are tight and the holes arent elongated like mine were. just today mine got worse and now its vibrating more and driving around a carlot slow it bounces back and forth against the gears and gets rocking pretty good. im callin my driveline shop tomorrow to get a estimate. if i have to drop the tranny myself i will again to save about 250 or so on labor.ill post back on the problem and let you know , im positive my problem is in the tranny , everything else has been replaced. kev
