Loud Noise By Tranny.....

OK the best thing about this is that it started to make the noise after i brought it to the dealer a previous time to get my tranny fixed. There was no noise for a bout a week then i started to hear a little tap noise when i up shift hard. then another week went by and the tap turned into a klunk!!! i was like what the hell was that. Now i get the noise when i up shift down shift and when i shut the car off it hits something 3 times and shakes the whole car!!! it did that jus the past 3 days but it seems like something is coming loose. i was wondering if you guys have any idea whats making that noise. oh and the noise sounds like it coming from the in between the tranny and it sounds like its hitting the firewall. so does anyone have a clue?? thanks in advance!!!

look for the mount bracket on the trans for the downpipe...could be loose. and make sure all the rest of the brackets are in the right position, and not hitting. exhaust hanger? doubful, but check them anyway. with the car raised up, and off, smack the exhaust in several places to see if its hitting anywhere. just my thoughts

It seems the dealer forgot to tighten what they call "stopper bushings" and so it was giving too much play with the tranny so it was making noise. thanks for your input tho.
