T56 Moving under acceleration?

Hey all..

Just got my LS6 clutch (band-aid fix) and hydro's installed.. clutch is now broken in more or less (600 miles) and works great! (315 rwhp right now.. no biggie)

Anyhow.. My question is this.. the car now shifts HARD which is great.. in 1st and 2nd gear when I gas it, I can feel the drivetrain torque through the shifter handle.. I mean it moves quite a bit! Is this normal? The car never did this before I put in the LS6 clutch.. I'd love to say it's because the new clutch grips so much better.. but I'm thinking maybe the tranny shop botched my mount? Something wrong?

Any experiences/help is awesome.. thanks all.

You may be in need of new motor mounts and/or transmission mount.

if it is moving up and down, there is something wrong with the tranny mount. check the nut on the crossbrace it's mounted to.

Hit the nail on the head guys.. The Tranny shop that did my install FORGOT to put the bolt that holds the tranny to the crossmember back in.. yay..

Now I just gotta stop @ the parts store on the way home and figure out what size bolt that bad boy is..

Thanks guys.

I can never remember the size of that freak'n thing. lol I've lost a few of them before. something like 13/16th. pretty sure it's not metric like you think it would be.
