No, just clank and clunk under moderate or hard throttle.

if its a tranny mount it should only clunk when you get on it, shouldnt have anything to do with idle. Go to jegs and get a Polyurithane Energy Suspension mount, VERY strong.

If it's not the tranny mount you may want to look at the torque arm mount holes. I know on the stocker mine had become stretched and elongated and it would shift under different levels of acceleration.

I still think it's the tranny mount though.

you put a jack under the trans to keep it from falling, remove the old mount, replace with new mount, remove jack.

Tranny mount is easy to change, go with a good poly mount takes 30 mins or less. Mine was almost separated in two pieces and clunked on shifting. Otherwise just make sure your u-joints front/rear are in good shape. Doubt your rear-end is shot.
