it shouldn't be too violent, but i get mine from rear end play because of bad bushings. it never kicks hard but you can always feel the slop, even if you aren't hearing it.

worn out rear bushings is pretty common.

It could be several things. It could be bad bushings, but another possability would be that your PPF is cracked. That's what the clunking sound was in my car, you will also notice your shifter bounce up as soon as you gas it.
