Default driveshaft hitting safety loop...HELP!

hey everyone, I just picked up an 02 SS which has a Spohn Torque arm and driveshaft safety loop. I have been hearing a clunk at times where im taking off in first gear, I figured it had something to do with this since it was the only modification besides a set of Koini SA's and a prokit on the car. So I seen that drive shaft was hitting the driveshaft loop abd causing this sound along with the scrape around the driveshaft itself. What would be the reason for this and how can I fix it?! Please let me know.

Thanks,
Chris

If I was a betting man, I'd say the transmission mount is toast. You can get the car up on jackstands, then use your floor jack to put a little pressure underneath the tailshaft of the tranny. While you're raising it a little watch the mount and see if it's broke. It's a cheap and easy fix.

What kind of loop is it? I had a jegs that I never could get right on my car. I even welded on extensions to make it more oval shaped and it still hit the driveshaft. I threw it away and went with a lakewood and haven't had any problems since.

Not sure what kind it is, but it looks pretty small. It came with the car.
