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.

I hear a rattling/clunking on low revs around 1st to 2nd gear. I thought it was transmission/suspension related then thought about the intake, before taking it to a mechanic. It was my Injen heatshield vibrating, duh... I removed it and prayed to the celica gods, hoping it would solve it. Problem solved!
