Tranny Mount?

was at a local car cruise the other day and everyone was doing a burnout so i joined in on the fun. after i let off the brake and moved abou t10 feet i heard a CLUNK. at first when i heard it i thought my rear took a poop on me. but i drove about 10 miles with no problems and no difference in driving, other than if i get on it a bit too much gas there is that clunk again. it comes from about the center console/armrest area. am i right in assuming i broke my tranny mount? when i got home i layed down and looked at it but it didnt look bad but anything else in the drive train should have left me stranded/made the car act different. unless you guys have any other ideas i think im going to order a nice new Poly tranny mount.

jack the tranny up slightly and check for cracking....sounds like the mount to me.
Change it with a poly mount and be done with it.

someone told me it could be the Torque arm mount, would that also cause this problem?

yeah it could but not near as likely as trans mount. you could of had it all checked out and you'd know the problem in the time you've spent here asking what it might be
