The clunking? Unless you have rebuilt the front end, consider it dead at this point. Most clunking I experience is from worn out strut rod mounts. I also did experience odd noises with worn out ball joints.

Broken motor mount will make the exhaust hit the frame. But the entire car would vibrate at idle, very noticeable.

You know there are TWO flex discs right? If they have cracks, replace them. The one at the end of the trans is more important.
Totally dry? Yeah pretty much... I mean there may have been a LITTLE in there. Bench bleed huh? Never heard of it. Time to google!

Regarding the clunking, it's a steady "clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk" etc. ... It goes away only when I get going pretty fast or when I ease the wheel to the left to "relieve" what ever is broken. I want to think front end issues wouldn't cause a repetitive clunk like that but maybe they can.

Sorry I forgot to mention; both flex discs looked good.
