B15, odd clunk noise

[Jim Wright]

Going to check all this on mine again when I can, the mounts looked just fine, but I didn't check them for tightness.  I yanked and pulled on various parts and wasn't seeing any movement, I'll need to rev the engine and watch for movement next time.  Still stumped here.
