Bad motor mounts and/or trans mount.

Look here and also at the engine mounts.

Turns out it was just a rock stuck between the exhaust pipe and the crossmember. It was wedged in there so I couldn't see it. Thank you for your help

Do you happen to have a picture to share so we can add it to the "Clunk" list?
