So I heard this clunk noise and it sounded like it came from underneath the console. It only happens when I accelerate from a stop. So I thought internal trans issue or u-joint. The u-joint looked fine then I looked at my trans mount and it doesn't look good. I attached some pictures, tell me what you think. Is this and easy fix?

 

and this

 

You've found your problem and it sin't expensive or hard to change. Just be careful when you unbolt and lift the tailshaft up from the crossmember. Good luck...

 

I would recommend a poly bushing.

I kept kidding myself and kept throwing 7$ rubber ones from Advance in there. And kept breaking them. So I bought ES poly bushing and haven't have a single problem since.

 

While you're at it, check the rubber sandwich on the torque arm bushing. Mine disintegrated and was clanking around, while the rubber transmission mount was about to go. I replaced both with Energy polyurethane and haven't had any problems since.

 

The trans mounts on these cars are the easiest thing to install I've ever come across.

They're pretty cheap too.

Literally took about 10 minutes once the car was off the ground to pull the old out and put the new in.

Torque it to proper specs though.

And a couple days later, get under there and loosen it up, let it pop into place on its own, and re-torque it.

It didn't even move when I changed my last one, but I've seen it do it before, sometimes they just want to come into their own after 100 miles or so (my stick started shaking really bad anytime I hit some rough road) so it's just a thought.

 

My trans mount went less then a month after owning the car...little too much abuse that it hasnt seen before.

Anyway i went ahead and got a Poly Mount and havent had any problems sence.

 

sounds to me like the same problem i am having. good now i know what to look at

 

I totally agree; I went thru 3 of those $7 rubber ones in two years. Then I put the poly bushing on in 1997. Still have the same poly bushing, no troubles- if only the transmission lasted as long! (Installed that trans in early '97, trans died in '99)
