Transmission problem or engine mount?
Recently I've had a thud type noise going from 5-6th at high revs. I thought I'd broke something in the transmission since I've had EC's E85 tune and I have been driving the car pretty hard since then.
I was then driving it yesterday and noticed it doesn't happen at lower revs so thought could it be an engine mount?
What do you guys think?

I've been talking with Eatcoast Euro about new motor mounts and trans mounts. I'm probably going to give them ago in the not so distant future.

So this isn't a hard trans shift?... it's a thud at the time of gearshift ... if it's a mount, why wouldn't it happen in 2-3 and 3-4 and 4-5? Torque limits are very low in those gears

Yes it could be a hard trans shift I will try resetting the trans and go from there.

Very easy to check mounts. Pop the hood, sit inside put the car in drive hold the brake and hit the gas back to back just enough to see the motor tq up. you will have a clear view while inside of your car. If it moves visually more then what looks like 2” upwards from the left side aka driver side then the mount is bad or going bad. But you must apply enough gas to make the motor move. Do not let go of brake. Maybe put on the emergency brake while doing this for safety
