Noise from 2005 Honda Civic EX 4dr *HELP* 
I just got my girlfriend's Honda back from the stealership, they have just replaced the bearings in the transmission.
I have had one problem after another with them...but that’s a different story.
Within 4 hours actual drive time from picking it up it began to make a clunking noise during accell or decell and sometimes when turning into a parking spot.
I am either thinking they didn’t get the sub frame bolted back or the motor mounts...
The car was making a lot of noise before we had the transmission worked on, maybe we didn’t hear the MMs go out?
Any ideas would be great as I have the car tore apart and am about to go bolt by bolt testing torque specs...
Is there a good way to diagnose a fatigued motor mount that I am unaware of?
Sorry for spelling, grammar, etc. Thanks in advance for you guys helps!

What a fuc^&$% douche at the dealership....
My only advise is to NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR TO A DEALERSHIP EVER...really for any reason.
Take it easy guys =P back to lurking

Figured that out a long time ago..dealers suck when it comes to repairs, too much of a headache. Anyone in the future I think the best way to check the mounts is just by a visual inspection. If they are cracked and worn, and hopefully not loose.

yeah all of us learn that sometime. its not worth trying to guess what they screwed up and forgot to tighten or put back.

My S is still under factory warranty so it has to go to dealership. There is one dealership that I trust in my area. I had to take it in to have a sensor related to VSA replaced, and they actually kept the car in the service garage the entire 4 days they had it. I will be taking all of our cars there for factory work.
