Knocking/Banging noise on acceleration
So as the title says, whenever I accelerate from a stop there is a knocking/ banging noise from the front end. At the same time, my shifter (it's a manual) will shake quite bad. I can also feel it in my pedals and floor. This only happens in first gear and only up until 15/20kph. My ball joints and wheel bearings are good and the front lower control arms are brand new. Could this be the upper control arms? Engine mount/s? Tranny mount? Right now I am completely at a lose lol
This is a 94 XJ manual 4x4

Yes mounts, unless it goes away in 2wd...... With the air cleaner off you can see the left mount allot better. With a pry bar you can check the tranny mount. One of mine rides forward enough I need to pry the engine back anytime I need to remove the E-Fan. PS pulley clearance....
