Hi who can help?

when i first put my foot down to accelerate i get one loud knock. This happens more at the lower gears. If i am gentle it does not happen.

I thought at first that this is most likely to be an engine mount but someone has since told me that it could be a problem with the transmission/drive train.

I have a 1993 corrado vr6 2.9

Many thanks

Darren

Most likely the front engine mount mate, its a relatively easy job. if it was your drive shafts then it would only really do it when accelerating while turning.

I test this by getting a friend to sit in the car with the hand brake on and lift the clutch to stress the mounts and see how much they move, like this:

The guy in this vid was a bit vicious with the clutch though lol.
