Chances are you have a broken mount. Now I can't say for sure which one/s but you can have someone put the car into gear and stand on the brake, place shifter into drive, set e-brake/parking brake, snap the throttle just enpough to move the engine so that you, with a flash light, can see which mount is broken. Once that has been identified, replace it soon. This prevents other damage such as inner cv boots tearing and destroying the joints.

Clunk under car on acceleration, but goes away after first initial clunk.
I would check the spark plugs and wires or coil packs. Sounds like the ignition system is arcing.

Reverse is rough, with intermittent grabbing, not slippage. I have replaced both s1 and s2 solenoids but dash light arrow still flashes. Prior to replacing the solenoids the transmission was in limp mode...
It sounds as if the seals are bad in your transmission and they are allowing fluid to slip past them. This results in the transmission not completely engaging in gear and being extremely slow to shift into gear.

You can try a few capfuls of break fluid in the tranny. This will swell the seals and allow them to seal better. This is not a permanant fix however, this will only temporarily get your tranny working for an undertermined amount of time. I used this fix on a turbo trans 350 and I got about a year of life out of it.

Beyond that I believe you may be looking at a tranny rebuild or replacement.

1999 expedition clunks when in Auto 4wd on slippery pavement.
That sounds like play in your rear end, it usually happens to all RWD vehicles at some point in their life, and also, check your U-joints, and tranny fluid. If low on fluid, your trans can slip causing a lag in shift.

Transmission is slippin
It may be as simple as adding tranny fluid or an indication of major tranny issues. Try the fluid first, because if your tranny goe kaput, you'll need more than online tech help. Get in for a look around.
