    I also had a "clunk"when backing up.
    It turned out to be 2 loose bolts of the upper suspension on the right hand side.These are the bolts that also permit to place shims for camber adjustment.
    Has anybody else encountered this problem?

    Loosen the two 17mm nuts that secure the transmission mount to the crossmember, then try to line up with the transmission. (You'll have to remove the skid plate first, two 14mm bolts) There is some adjustment there, so you should be able to get it in line. If you need a hand let me know and I'll head up your way on an upcoming weekend.

    I'm having this same issue...I'll get back to you after this weekend with the diameter & pitch of the bolts in question. My bolts are still there, it's the mount that's toast...
    Gonna try to "fix" the old mount, possibly by through bolting it, as I don't have the $80+ to buy a new one right now.

    Umm, this is making me a little concerned. When I shift into D from P or N there is an audible mechanical sounding "clunk." It has done it since I first bought it, so i just assumed this was normal. Is it?
