Energy Sus. torque arm bushing and banging during driving...

I have a TH350 installed in a car that origonally came with a 5-speed. I read in a search that someone had some banging when they put their car into gear. Mine also does it when I'm driving and hit a bump. Could this be the torque arm? The TA hooks up on the tailshaft just I can move the bushing around, should I be able ot do this? Has anyone seen any improvements with the ES bushing?

Yea that is what is happening to me. My bushing is gone. I need to replace it and so do you. I am just too damn lazy to do it. You do know what you are looking for right?

I just picked up the ES buching and went under my car to discover the bracket snaped in half! Somehow it broke where it bolts into the tranny and was just hanging there by that last bolt. The bad news is GM wants $130 for the bracket and no place else carries them.
