Clunks when you manually select a gear, kick the O/D off, as you are accelerating, etc. This still happens when cold, when fully warmed up, moderate throttle, WOT, etc.
Could be a number of things causing it to "clunk" - from mounts, to bad axles, worn CV, loose lugnuts, etc.

it seems to happen in any gear but it was most frequently in the upper gears
it doesn't do it all the time but it's becoming more frequent.
there are times when it clunks several times in a row before staying in gear? i don't have a tachometer but it might be shifting up then down a bunch of times?
it happens even if o/d is off.
i have not noticed it when moving the shifter (might be due to the fact the clunking isn't frequent enough yet).
it seems to start clunking on upshifts but when it happens, it sometimes does it several times so maybe it's going up/down, up/down?
it happens if it's hot or cold. i have not tried WOT since the corolla is just an A => B car.
i'm pretty sure it's not due to bad engine mounts. the clunking doesn't happen all the time and i've already had a quick look at the front and rear mounts.
i'm also pretty sure it's not loose lug nuts because i already retorqued them w/ a torque wrench after removing the snow tires.
i'm not suspecting the CV joints since the boots are not torn and the car turns fine.
