clarkie 1 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 mine did that .does the car go in a straight line or does it tend 2 swerv to the left / right? on mine the bolts that hold the wish bone were loose so when accelerating or let off it it moves and made a clunk!!!

ROCKIN ROBBIE 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 i had same clunk sound when you let the clutch out on my vr6. it turned out to be one of the back engine mounts.It prob just wants tightening on yours. Link to post Share on other sites
