Initial thud /engagement when pressing accelerator from standstill

[Am786]

Just curious, this seems to either have got louder or just started noticing it:

When I am at standstill and I press the accelerator there seems to be like a thud or something engaging from the rear.

If I let go of the accelerator and then am slowly moving then it may come again if I press the accelerator but not always.

While I'm moving faster e.g. 10mph and accelerate then there are no thuds or engaging noise.

There are no issues with driving and no warning lights.

I'm thinking:
- battery movement?
- first gear?
- rear axle?

Next time I'm driving I'll video the sound.

this is the fix -
found a diy video as well -

That video is perfect.

However, I would take my Mitsubishi dealer technicians advice and buy the Powerflex motor mount with better quality rubber bush and CNC construction rather than cast original.

It was a prefect fit and no more thud.

Looks great too, shame it’s hidden from view.
