Hi.

I recently bought a 1999 Porsche Boxster 2.5 with 60k miles on it.
This is my first Porsche and I'm completely in love

However, I have an issue that worries me a bit.

When I accelerate hard in 1st and 2nd gear (sometimes 3rd) and shift upwards, I get a hard clunk from what feels like the entire chassis. So I figured that I may have a bad engine mount.

Also if I get wheelspin during acceleration on wet roads it feels like the tyres is slipping and gripping in an endless cycle. This causes the same type of hard/violent clunks as when I shift, but in perpetuity instead.

Can you brilliant Porsche minds provide me some insight on this issue?

Here is a picture of it
