Clunk/Does not hold on a hill

After doing lower trans/motor mounts, I am getting a definite clunk when dropping into reverse and a lesser clunk when putting in drive. It is not an all the time thing, it is however more often then not. Occasionally, it will not hold when on a hill.
Additional info, drivers side cv shaft replaced, idles nicely at about 600 RPM but does not hold, revving to about 800 -900 and she holds on a hill.

Hoping this is something that is not going to have me drive her behind the shed with a shotgun. :cool:
 


Hill is normal. It's an automatic and there is a torque converter to allow slippage. Brakes hold you on hills, not the torque converter.

As for the clunk, it could be an axle, strut mount.. heck even the upper mounts
