Well, I am pretty sure the clunking was caused by the motor mount
Pulled it out this evening

What do you think?

I think you need a new one. This one is completely gone.

No wonder that you've got a clunk.

Markus - how can you tell, is it just worn down?

Hello GTSilber,

that is pretty easy. First i use Photoshop to correct the photo – so that i can see the damage.

And there you see that the upper part of the black gum is completely tored off and broken out - means you will have contact under torque.

There is another thread where you can see other worn mounts and a new one: http://986forum.com/forums/performance-technical-chat/58375-changed-motor-mount-@-95k.html On the second side i did some photos.

Regards
Markus
