The clunk is most likely play in the drive train, and left untreated may lead to failure of big pieces. 2 years ago on the way to carlisle I passed a vehicle full power at a century and the rear ring ate my pinion in a hostile manner. Clunks are bad. Woody
Numbers wrong again, 327 million in the US, which is part of the North American continent. You do not own the continent as Mexico and Canada are part of North America.
OK so I misinterpreted your words. We speak English not American.
If a DS support was broken and the engine was chained down the chain could make a clunk when the chain got taut.
I think some auto tranny’s can make clunks due to valve problems.
