get a prothane trans mount. Stops the banging most of the time and takes about 45 min to install.

I think thunder racing stocks the prothane mount. Autozone can get you the energy suspension mount. I went with the prothane mount based on the review on this board. Cost me $45.

I had the same problem. I took a torch and got the pipe nice and hot, then squeezed it a little with a pipe wrench. I did it just enough to flatten the top of the pipe to keep it from thumpin the floor pan.
