start checking the motor and transmission mounts...

When one of them Its broken the torque off the engine "twist" the whole engine and tranny and makes that "thud" sound.

check them and let us know...

i think you are right, because the cars been in an accident, so i am guessing the engine has shifted off the mounts...and how much would labor cost for the job?
