Help diagnose mount problem Noticed something loose coming from under the car at wot shifts only. Sometimes shifts felt funny. Theres was banging like theres something loose. But its only at wot when trans is shifting.
I will crawl under the car tomorrow to look but I just have some questions that might help figure some things out thanks.
1- Can I tell if my motor mounts are going just by idle or giving it throttle from under the hood?
2- Is it possible that a bad trans mount only shows it ugly head under wot?
3- Is a torque arm bushing only bad if it lets loose totally causing TA to bang floorboard or could it still be causing problems still intact?

Your mounts are bad. The tranny mount is probably split in two and the torque arm mount is likely split or badly torn. To test the engine mounts, rev the engine a bit with it in gear and the hood up. If the engine looks like it wants to twist itself out of the engine bay, those are bad as well.
Baby the car until you replace them. NO MORE WOT shifting just to see what happens. The mounts are bad. I had both of mine replaced a month ago. Both were in horrendous shape.

What kind of mounts do I get now and from where?
