    ENG/XMSN mounts

    I have the clunk too. I notice mine when I let the brake off from a complete stop. I'm suspecting the transmission mounts only because someone else told me this was what the clunk has a high probability to be. Wasn't there some engine mounts that were also a common problem for VX?

    Mine was doing exactly the same thing many years ago. It was just the u-joints needing grease. (I've checked my transmission mounts several times, and they have never been loose.) I think there are 3 zerk fittings. A quick search should find everything you need to know. It's been discussed several times.

    X2...same here and since I grease those and my sway bar at each oil change it has never come back...

    First time to do it took quite a bit of grease too.
