Slight clunking sound when letting accelerating in first.

This is on a 96 GTS if it matters. It's not terrible and doesn't sound like its in the drivetrain. It sounds like something is twisting, almost like the motor is twisting in the chassis. If this is a simple as changing to a new or higher quality motor mount, it would be great, but wouldn't fall into my kind of luck. I need to get under this thing and take a look, but I'm sure somebody has already been there done that with this issue.

I would say trans/engine mounts, time to upgrade. It's a pretty common issue.

Does the top of your shift knob move more than 1/2 an inch to the side when accelerating? If so, it's your motor mounts.

Engine or tranny mounts, driveshaft or halfshafts, control arm mounts, rear axle hub nut, wheel lug nuts, diff housing mounts. Could be any of these, but if you feel like it's the motor mounts, it's time with a '96.

How many miles on the Viper?

54,000 or so.
