Suspected Motor mount issue..CONFIRMED!!! BROKEN IN HALF!
I get a good bang when i go off the line from a stop, I dont hear it, I just feel it. I can reproduce the problem by being in drive with the brakes on and pressing the gas at the same time, it will go "clunk" but you dont hear a clunk you feel it. Side to side its fine. Maybe this is normal? My 93 does not do it but its a different transmission.
Also when going into drive the car shudders decently from a similar "bang"...with the 4t65e should you feel it go into drive with a sizeable thud feeling in the car? My 93 with a fresh trans hits drive really hard too from park but it has a shift kit and vaccum modulator that increases the firmness in shifts etc. I guess I'm not sure how much is normal on the 00.

i would look into the motor and tranny mounts... sounds more like a mount problem im thinking... especially if you can get the result from powerbraking... does it occur during a heavy downshift as well?

I'm going to detail the engine bay and check the mounts this weekend.
which ones should I be most concerned about? all of them? I plan on doing the front motor mount with the hockey puck mod.

by the sounds of it i would think that you should definately check all of them... the front mount is kinda soft to begin with on these cars, and a little movement is normal. You should definitely look into doing a soli hockey-puck front mount, but your tranny mounts may be shot as well
