Lexus question

[V8Ford]

Hi all,

I'm not a mechanic so humour me here, but what would cause the following symptoms?

- 'Clunk' from rear end when putting transmission into D or R, and on some gear shifts.
- Shuddering sensation when accelerating, up until about 40mph.

Car is a 1993 LS400 V8 auto with 80,000mi.

Thanks in advance!

Matthew

Thanks chaps, much appreciated.

Haven't been doing any burnouts, can't comment if the previous owner has or not as he is a PHer

Thought I would add an update for anyone Googling the same problem - it was the differential mounting bushings. Nice and quiet now.
