Its under the gear knob son!

[look underneath, to where the rod change comes up through the floor. Should see a rubber block]

All garage work involves equal measures of enthusiasm, ingenuity and a fair degree of irresponsibility.

It is a Matic, it won't have a gear change mount problem.

It should have Hardy-Spicer uni joints on the inner ends of the driveshaft.

Matics are more likely to have an engine mount problem than a manual, as they only have 1 engine steady. They tend to move >hard in one direction when you select a gear from neutral.
Note these mounts are both different to manual ones.

If thinking about adding a top steady, note the engine is 20mm? further forward than manuals are, so you would need a longer steady bar or a custom bracket.

My top shock mount came loose and bugged me for years trying to work out where it was coming from. Grab the shock and try and move it. Worth a try.

Possibly a loose steerting rack u bolt.

When I go from neutral to drive it does clunk quite loudly!!

Only when hot though. cold it shifts slow enough lol

Mick will pm you. I'm too embarrassed tho lol

Check the idle speed, on a `matic it should be 650rpm according to the manual. I would say this is in neutral.
If too high, it will clunk more when shifted into gear.

almost certain my idle is low. although I have not put a tacho yet.

on idle the filter light comes on. lol

There is no filter light switch on a matic.
And the auto's HUGE oil pump supplies heaps of oil to the `box and motor, so it's not low oil pressure. It is probably the generator or alternator charge light.

probably. theres filter written beside so I always thought it was that LOL

sometimes its on sometimes its off at idle .

Lamp is probably put in the wrong spot in the speedo.

Oil pressure light (early matic only) should be orange, charge light is red, high beam is blue. As I said, filter light not used on a matic.
Mk2 matics have an oil pressure gauge and no warning light.

[edit] If it's an early Matic (speedo only, no oil & temp gauges), it has a generator not an alternator. These charge poorly or not at all at idle, so it's normal for the charge light to blink a bit.

Looking at your earlier photos, may I suggest you get the ball joints greased. They look a little dry

I had a knock in the front end when I took off and over bumps etc.
Turns out I had a loose tie rod and it was moving back and forth.
Maybe check the nuts on the front of those.
