Hello..
I'm trying to fix a clunk on my son's polo 1.2tsi manual 2016. 90k miles

Clunk/knock when up shifting.

You can prevent the clunk by easing right off the accelerator and smoothly coming up with the clutch, but not normal driving, every upshift is a clunk.

I've put an new dog bone in it - the old one was very soft. This has helped, bit not fixed it..

So I've looked at the gearbox mount and it looks like it has a lot of front/back movement:

Is this normal or excessive, not a lot of force was required to generate this movement.

Any ideas?

Looks like too much to me.
I'd replace that. Fairly quick job to do (unless you cross thread the bolt like I did and have to quickly find the tap kit to re-tap it )
They will move just by hand, but that looks like too much.

Replaced mine well over a year ago with a Febi unit. Has started feeling soft again lately, but I have no changed the dogbone yet.
All these mounts are super soft as VW tries to manage NVH on such a small platform.

Brilliant thanks for the reply. confirms my suspicions...
