Transmission mount is likely broken.

Take a lever, like a crowbar under the car with you and lever up the back of the transmission. You'll know pretty quckly if it's broken...

Bottle jack works too. Or a scissor jack etc...

Re: Loud thud when i give my 91 T/A some gas

I agree with the broken tranny mount too. If you have a T5, it is more easily noticed, by the shifter movement, than it is on a 700R4.

You should be able to get one at your local AutoZone for cheaper than paying the handling fee from Summit or Jegs. I haven't bought one in a while, but it's likely around $15.

Yup, its most likely your tranny mount. I had to replace mine once already, and I may have cracked this one too. You can get one from Advance or Napa, they run around $10 if I remember correctly.

Really easy to replace too, wont take you much time at all.
