n my 02 gts when I take of and it spins just a little I get like a thumping sound at the back almost like something is hitting up against something else... I have 20" I forged wheels on the back that grip really good and put a wood house tranny mount in last summer, almost feels like the mount is broke but ya wouldn't think it would be....

More then likely wheel hop, If you did not change the engine mounts also they are a bigger factor then the trans mount, that is why I never recommend just the trans mount alone.

Can you feel it or just hear it? Wheel hop is typically felt. If it's just a noise, I would check the diff mount bolt torque and condition of the bushings.

Energy Suspension sell one at most of the auto parts chains. Exact match to the GM. Trans mount.
