Transmission hitting floorboard??? I have what seems to be the transmission hitting the floorboard of my car. I have a built tranny so the 1-2 shift is hard and causes this loud noise from under the center console. I also hear it when I drive over bumps or rough roads. I always thought it was my headers/ORY so I had the motor mounts changed while having an oil leak fixed to see if that helped and it didn't. I put the car back to stock and I still get this noise so it was never the headers/ORY. I changed the transmission mount before I even had this noise so I'm kind of lost as to what it could be. Anybody have a lead to where it can be coming from??? Thanks
This would be my guess, since there really isn't too much else that clunk around the transmission and under the console.

What kind of trans mount did you use? I went through 3 stock replacements in one summer before i bought a poly. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's good anymore. The symptoms sound like it could be a trans mount.
Take a floor jack and lightly jack up the trans while watching to see if the mount separates.

OK so my dad and I finally went ahead and changed the torque arm bushing with a poly replacement and I tightened up the bolts of the transmission mount a tad bit with the same results. I still get what sounds like the transmission hitting under the center console when I acceleration hard from a stop or if I'm driving on bumpy roads. Can it be a loose bolt that holds the transmission in place???

The place that put in the transmission mount didn't put the bolt that goes through the cross member and into the mount 
Just thought I'd let everyone know the good news haha. No more banging coming from under the car
