Noise when changing gears? Okay guys, stats are in my sig...
If i change gears (any gear), i hear this light clunk noise coming from the tranny area. It also happens if i let off the gas and then go hard on the gas.
Any ideas? Tranny mounts?

yea tranny mount can do it!! jack it up and get under there and see if your tranny mount is tore all up....also check all your lugnuts one of your rims might be loose...i know farfetched but ive had it happen before and its good to double check!! better to be safer tahn sry..you wouldnt want a wheel flying off that could cause lots of damage!! studs could break/get bent, could tear your 1/2 panel up bad, also could break your rotor coming off....just check some of the possibilties...use process of elimation on this

It does, i'm new with F-bodies, where do i find the tranny mount(s) on the tranny?
as a replacement, how does this look?

should i stay oem, or go polyurethane? i had polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings on my E36 M3 and it really tightened up the rear suspension.
That's a good replacement, any of the Poly ones are.
As far as where it's located.. get under your Car and find the back of the Transmission. Then look at the big ugly piece of black metal that's got 2 Bolts on each end of it, and one in the middle. That is your Tranny Cross Member, and that will have to come off to get to that Mount. The Center Bolt in that Crossmember is the bottom of the Mount, and when the Cross Member comes off, you will see 2 Bolts in the Transmission that hold the Mount to that. Remove then to change the Mount. Make sure you have the Transmission supported before you take that Cross Member off.

I also read these instructions that don't involve removing the cross member:
# Raise and support the car with jack stands.
# Remove the 15mm nut from the tranny mount stud.
# Use a 2x4 at least the width of the transmission pan on top of your jack and raise the transmission a few inches.
# Remove the two 14mm bolts from the mount to the transmission.
# Remove the mount, if it can’t be removed raise the transmission higher and try again.
# Install the new mount using the original 14mm bolts to the transmission and either the supplied cross member to mount bolts or the original 15mm bolt.
# Torque the bolts to spec.
# Return the car to the ground and go for a drive.
how does this sound?

Brett Foote That's about the same, but it takes all of 5 sec to remove and put the Mount back with the Air Gun..and you get more room.
Put the front of the Car up on Jackstands, and get a Jack under the Tranny with a piece of wood, and use that to support the Transmission. If you have access to a Shop with a Drive-on Lift, then that will help alot.
