More on front end clunks - trans mount question

I am one of those with hard-to-replicate front-end clunks ('00 LPT, 5 sp). Have had the sub-frame and loose control arms re-torqued etc. There was some improvement but there is still a residual clunk on turning/braking or acceleration. Today I began investigating things some more and I noticed that the transmission mount is quite loose. This is the short strut that connects the front base of the tranmission to the front frame cross-member. If I grab the strut I can wobble it a couple of mm quite easily at the transmission end. The end attached to the frame is quite solid. The securing bolts are quite tight (> 40 ft.lbs). Is this normal??
"Boomer" noted something similar in a recent post.
You can check yours quite easily by reaching down the front of the engine compartment
