Clunking when letting out clutch...motor mount??
Friday, May 13, 2011 11:55 PM
As the title states..
When i let out the clutch from a stop, sometimes i hear alot of clunking in the front end, like a shaking and clunking. My pedal is smooth so i know it's not clutch chatter, the whole car shakes as it clunks. Also sometimes in any gear while slowing down(mostly 2nd) at lower rpms ~1500, the car shakes and bucks all over, once i press the clutch, it stops.

Someone told me upper control arm bushings could do this, but we do not have upper ones, and the lower parts all look ok, ive recently done the Dog Bone mount(torque mount) but when i rev, the upper mount has maybe a half inch movement both ways, maybe little more, not sure if that's normal, i know under load and trying to pull the car, it will probably move more..

How much movement should the Upper motor mount have? how to check?
Would this also be a transmission mount? if so which one? and how to check them?
Everything else on the front end seems tight, i dont know what else to check for this


...thanks!, btw its a 1995 2.2 ohv with 103k miles, probably original mounts except the dog bone which i just replaced

Also when i slam 2nd hard, i get a loud clunk/ thud noise that does not sound healthy at all lol there are plenty of strange sounds cars make, this one is not ignorable....but yeah its only when i slam 2nd hard, or when i let out the clutch from a dead stop and all ive said above..
