When you put the VX in gear and hear a CLUNK it is probably your u joint.

THE FOLLOWING IS BAD INFORMATION, KEEP READING FOR THE PROPER CORRECTION

U Joint = Universal Joint the Plus shaped component not the "U" shaped

Yoke = U shaped.
That's really too bad
Hope your VX gets better.

I think all of our VX's clunk when you put them into gear and I think it's just the gears engaging. If you put it into gear and hear a little ring (like a bell) after the clunk that usually means that something is loose. The other way to tell if your U-joints are going is to crawl under the car, grab the drive shaft and try to twist it. If it twists more than a minute amount they your U-joint is going. If it twists a lot, then it's a miracle that your U-joint is still attached.
