Default torque arm???

Aight I'm certainly not new to the fbody world. I've had a couple of cars but this one is puzzling me. So i put the (stock) torque arm on my new six speed on my new car. Bolt it all up and stuff and every time I shift down a gear and sometimes up it clunks... I put a different bolt in the top part of the TA bracket on the transmission because it seemed to be a bit loose. Take it back out and it still clunks (tranny mount isn't broken). Could my TA mount be bad/old or what?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Double check the tranny mount. Check the TA mount to make sure the rubber is all intact. Make sure it's not something else clunking--like your Y-pipe.

What about the U-joints in your drive poll? Also check for bad motor mounts too... ...usually, a clunking sound is the tranny mount, however...
