The sound is loudest from 0:28 onwards when I let the car coast in gear and suddenly give it a sharp jolt of gas, it does not make the sound at all when I rev the engine in neutral or when clutch is depressed).

This clunk noise sounds like it is coming from my manual transmission but I have no problems shifting or getting into gear.

First off I have double checked all the ball joints (upper, lower),control arm bushings,tierods and they are all brand new and no play whatsoever, also it does not make the noise when going over bumps.

Also I have checked the mounts, I replaced the left lower front mount as that was broken but it made no difference.

Really stumped as I have crawled under the car and looked and pushed and prodded and cant find anything loose or rubbing or hitting. I read somewhere that it might be the differential? Please help, so far the only symptom of the problem is the noise and I have no shifting issues but I dont want to end up stranded!
