Okay, so i'm pretty sure i already know the answer but i want the opinions of the experts. :D
So, i've been getting a clunking during take off and just assumed it was the rear exhaust hanger since i reworked it and and has been loosening some. I've been checking on it often though and its still tight but i still heard the clunking. I mounted the little dvr on the front of the fuel tank skid to test it viewing underneath toward the front. Just a fluke i was reviewing the footage and caught a glimpse of something alarming (to me).
At around 1:43 you can see i have halted at a stop sign and take off. At that point you can see the t-case moving side to side. Bad trans mount, right? I did get under there and look at it, and the rubber does seem soft. As well, the i think its collapsed some because the exhaust is ALMOST touching the cross member. This is now where i think i am getting the clunking.
