New 1LE mount and still problem(clunking) I have a clunk under hard shifting and replaced the trans mount with stock 1LE the old was indeed torn, this helped but there is still a clunk and when I accelerate the shifter will rise about a half inch but this seems normal. My torque arm is tight, I don't know what else could be moving to create this? Could it be a bad motor mount, it sounds like transmount/TA problem but I checked everything and it seems tight. Should I try a poly mount? Could it be output shaft play or Driveshaft or something? thanks.

Best way I have found to combat the clunking problem is by installed a single poly engine mount on the driver's side. In my experience this is an order of magnitude more effective than messing with the trans mount.
You will get 90-95% of the benefit of doing both mounts by doing just the driver's side alone and you will save yourself some work. Go with the Prothane bushings - they are a direct fit. Last time I checked (which has admittedly been a while) the Energy Suspension pieces were not direct fit and required some slight shimming.
Install is a bit of a PITA, but well worth the effort. There are some decent install guides floating around as well...

Ok so does anyone have the part number for the Energy Suspension Trans mount and the the Energy Suspension torque arm mount?
I looked on ES site and they dont even list a trans mount and dont have a torque arm mount even listed.
