Take a look at the bottom engine mount. You'll find it underneath, just below the off-side drive shaft. The rubber doughnut should allow slight movement, but not too much.

If it is the crank pulley (a common failure on HDi's) then get it sorted asap because if it fails then the timing belt will slip, which being a diesel will destroy the engine :o

Can't see it being pulley as the clunk occurs on gear change only. Presume it also occurs when you first move off. Almost certainly engine mountings. Get a big bar and lever the engine around.
