On a Mk2 MR2. When I move off in a forward gear, I get a huge clunking and the whole back end of the car shakes. The drivers side rear wheel seems to be the main one effected, it skips and locks with the clunking. The whole engine moves violently. When the clunking happens, the car gives you no drive. As soon as you let the clutch out and you get a violent clunking.

If I put it in reverse, I get a clunk/wheel skip as whatever it is sorts itself out then it's fine in reverse.

I thought it was the gearbox and replaced it. I'm quite annoyed that it wasn't, real b1tch of a job that.

I'm thinking maybe it's the CV joint now? Is that possible?
