Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone can help me diagnose a noise.

When I have the car in first gear and i let off the clutch and the
first gear starts to engage I get a clunk type noise. Almost like there's play in the drivetrain or something. Any ideas?

Could be a broken transmission mount or maybe a stuffed Dedion front bush (my dads GTV had this and would clunk every time you let the clutch out).

Front of the rear suspension triangle - there is a bolt up cross member. The triangle pivots via a bush to this cross member. The front transmission mounts bolt to the top of this cross member.
See how you go.
