Thud - sounds like transmission area, but is it

When I brake hard, there is a thud noise under the gearshift type area.

How can I tell more specifically what to fix.

It may be a mount type thing.

The thud come when I stop "hard", stopping soft has no noise.

No noise when I stop when going in reverse - hard or soft.

There is no feel while driving, nothing in drive train or steering.

Just don't know what it is.

Noise "may have" been there before I changed the flex disk, and transmission mount.

Then again, I may have broken something when I fixed the flex disk.

Your wisdom is appreciated.
