Exclamation WTF happened ?!?!?

well i was drivin on the 101 crusin at around 70 mph... when out of nowhere i hear a loud boom. My center console shook and my phone which was in the cup holder went flyin. I had no clue wtf hit me. So i immediately pulled over. I checked underneath for a dropped drive shaft or a rear end that went kaboom... nothin. So i didnt think much of it. Well i go to leave and as soon as i pop the clutch and give gas.... a thundering boom is heard from the center console? but the thing is it is random,... happens after 1st shift then after 2nd shift.. then randomly. I am baflled, but its at the dealership now, i have warrenty. I think it could be the gears slippin ? but im not sure any ideas ? Thanks guys hope its nothin too serious. o btw do cutouts void warrenty ? i doubt it because zl1's have dual electric cutouts...so dunno

Definatly sounds like the tranny mount. Very odd how it would just give out while cruising.

tranny mount, had the same thing happen to me . After a bad *** day of paintball shooting in Corona. Hopped on to the 91 frw and my shifter starts coming up from the center console, im like WTF!!!! . ,realized tranny mount broke. It scared the F*(K out of me though.
Inexpensive, $20 for the tranny mount .Jack up the tranny, pop it in, and thats it.
