My shifter raises about an inch in my hand as i accelerate. I know it is caused by the torque arm. Would replacing the transmision mount with a polyurethane one help this? LCA lowering brackets? A custom crossmember with torque arm relocation is in the future as are the LCA relocation but for now will the mount improve anything or is it a waste of $?

More than likely the problem is your OE mount (which at this point is probably shot to heck, especially if you have a secondary trans mount). Climb under the car and take a peek.

yeah mine snapped entirely and it was my mount, make sure it hasnt broken and when you replace it spring for that polyurethane, it'll last longer, check your motor mounts too because if they're old and your tranny is moving, your engine may be as well causing them to rub apart
