Hi,
When you turned the wheel, were both front tires off the ground? If so, it will turn. Both wheels need to be on the ground to prevent them from turning.
Next, I'm not sure I understand what is happening. If you are getting a clunk when placing it in gear, there is a chance you have a faulty engine mount.
Try this. Open the hood, engage the park brake, and have a helper start the engine. Have them hold tight on the brake pedal and place the vehicle in both reverse and then drive. See if there is excessive movement from the engine. When doing this, they can press lightly on the throttle to add a load to the engine.
Try this and let me know what you find.
Joe
