Clunking on start when cold

Hi Gang! Ive not had any problems for a while which has been nice:)
I have now however got a clunking noise on starting and it sounds like its coming under the center console. Its a 89 Cherokee Lareado 4x4 auto 4.0.
Ive just bought a house :grinyes: and now have no real spare money:disappoin so I would like to figure it out now before it becomes more expensive!

CHeck your tranny and T-case mounts. Could be hitting the floorboard. Also you can look at your exhaust, my 00 XJ did it and I just cut a heater hose in half to act as a insulator.

x2 what GTmud said....also check those engine mounts...

Hi guys, thanks for your answers. Have checked the engine mounts and they are good. Whilst underneath looking at transmission I found a round rubber ring approx2-3 inches in in diameter with a small hole in the middle. I cant find a place for it and dont know what Im looking for on the trans mounts.
Any pointers or ideas?
Thanks
