I have a 95 GT 5 speed. When I start off in 1st gear and the rpm's are pretty low I hear a clank/clunking for a couple seconds up front most of the time when I start off, also sometimes at low rpm's in 2nd gear around a corner. Its a pretty nasty sound that I don't like, it hasn't been happening that long so I don't really get it. I figured it was something with the motor mounts so I replaced the one under the intake on the drivers side as well as the rear one, still having that problem. The front mount looks just fine, so I have no idea. I dunno what else you might need for info without driving the car, but im stumped and I hate hearing this sound. Thanks.

Hi,

I had some strange noises also from my 97 Celica 2.2ltr in 1st & 2nd Gear at low revs.
Initially it is the factory clutch, Toyota changed it and the noises stopped. If you havn't had it changed or worked on then maybe look at that. Also some Thick gear box oil helps.

If your hearing noise when your cornering also get your CV joints (Steering Joints) checked.
They also make a cluncking noise when the bearings are worn.

Otherwise if you are past the 100,000Km (Sorry don't know what this is in Miles) on the odometer.
Then have checked the timing blets and pullies.
I have mine in for servicing as the belts are worn and pullie can become lose. Not healthy for the engine.

Hope this might help...Cheers
