Guess it's time..

So I guess it's time for me to quit ignoring the little things that bother me about my car and post them here so I can find out what may be wrong and how much it'll cost me. I've come to realize that sometimes in life if you ignore porblems they just go away. Unfortunately dealing with an SVX does not apply to the same rules.

1) My engine has a constant clunking noise.
2) It'll take a moment to shift from park to reverse or drive to reverse. It's not terribly noticable but still there. Hesitating for a moment.
3) I'll be driving at any speed and I feel a hesitation, then a thump like it's trying hard to change gears and when it's on the lift, it'll shake when it shifts. (Maybe solenoid C?)
4) Smoke coming from the exagust.
5) Wants to pull to the left.
6) When I hit bumps, I hit bumps HARD. Like there is no cushioning between me and the road. Potholes are NIGHTMARES!!

That's all I can think of now, I'm sure there will be more later.. Thanks in advance!
