I made a few comments in THIS thread. However, I felt it necessary to make a new thread to encourage everyone to do some VERY quick investigations.

After hearing several noises over the almost year that I have owned my VX, I have corrected or come to live with all of them. In my book, as long as I know what is causing the noise, and it isn't harmful, I can ignore it (ex: seat squeak). After reading through several threads about a clunk that sounded strangely familiar, I finally decided to heed the warning. I looked at my transmission mount and sure enough, I was missing a bolt connecting the mount to the transfer case. Just to make sure that I had ALL my bases covered, I replaced the transmission mount and all bolts associated. I was very delighted to find out that this corrected my clunk as well as the squeak that I thought was shock related.

A few threads to read through....
