Loud "pop" when pulling off



  Clio 172 Phase 1
Recently when pulling away (when the car is warm) if I give it a bit of stick there is a loud popping noise but is hard to locate where from. The car does jolt slightly, any ideas what this could be? Also lately I have noticed the gearstick shakes more than usual, not mechanically minded but could that mean possible gearbox mount?

Cheers

lol @ thread title :quiet:

is it a pop or a knock?
dog bone mount possibly, park up put it in first, handbrake up and hit biting point, if you hear it knocking that'll be it

lift the bonnet and rock the engine with some1 looking for play in the mounts, i had a bad creaking and knock when pulling away, apparently it was my top mounts and it turned out to be upper engine mount

Ok mate cheers, I have just recieved some washers to do my top mounts so see what happens after doing those, then I will upgrade other mounts if necessary!
