"Metaphors be with you"
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?

Im unfortuanetely in the smae boat, probly further up creek though. Not only are my bolts missing but the holes do not line up (tranny is forward of hole). This i admit i am certain is due to a accident i experienced some time ago =' ( you guys think i should get under there with a pry bar? ...x

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.Originally Posted by -x-

So, what size are the missing bolts?![]()
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?![]()
