Could be something else, but this you can check quite easy.
I'm thinking car warms up, shifts are softer, engine manages to fall back against mount. When hard accelerating, engine stays tight.
Also axles could be it.
Do you have any other symptoms? Maybe a jolt forward?

I used to have a clunk when turning (this was fixed by ball joints).
The clunk is almost like a "jolt" or a shudder.. seems to only happen when accelerating and usually at the top of the gear.. I guess engine mount could make total sense with it getting to the top of the gear range, and then jolting because the revs go down. I'll have to check it out. Can you see the mounts from having the hood open? Any guidance here as i am not familiar with these.. And how much movement is "normal"
