Ouch, Mick! Odd thing is, I too have heard an occassional clunk-- in the area of the undercarriage behind passenger seat. But other than that, seems to be running fine. I had new CV joints, rotors, ball joints, etc before leaving for Mexico last December. Yesterday, I heard a soft clunk just after disengaging the clutch out of first, then again, out of second gear. I wondered if it was just stuff under the jump seat shifting. No trouble shifting, tho reverse has always seemed stiff. I am *concerned. Anyone have a clue as to what these "clunks" signify?
