Yeah, my thoughts were with the figure 8 arm, or the banana arm. I've had problems with the banana arms in the past, haven't had to do anything to the figure 8 arms yet. (Touch wood)

the only time the clutch will be causing that is if its not disengaging properly, in which case it would be affecting all gears

I have had a mechanic look at the knocking/DONKing and he couldn't find anything. I might take it to ilam toyota and get it looked at there, hopefully being fully familiar with the car might get them onto the problem.
