torque arm/trans hits floor

mite have been talked about b4 but when im on the gas & my trans shifts hard... it sounds/feels like the tail end of my trans is goin 2 come up thru my floor. the rubber torque arm bushing is new and tightened down & my trans is tightened down 2 the crossmember wth a new rubber trans mount, so why is it hiting the floor? any ideas? thnx.

I know you said it's a new Rubber trans mount, but it possibly couldn't handle the extra hard shifts. Check the mount again, you may have to go to a poly mount.

I've had the same problem after I've done some tuning up (more torque caused it?) its only my 1-2 shift after that its fine I'd like to know if you figure something out

If they check out, I would check your motor mounts too.
