Is it thunking?

May be your diff. Check the bushings in the back.

My legacy will thunk if it shifts hard or if i go from reverse to drive. But my bushings are toast. they are barley connected anymore.

I would drain the trans fluid, change the filter and refill. Don't have it flushed. That can break small particles loose and cause more damage.
