Cheers for your input, but you seem to be 100% dead sure that the noise is coming from the engine mount, I mean, who can so sure analyse sound without hearing it?? Not, trying to knock it off but you can be right and the noise can also be directed to engine mounts (F&R) but this will associate with hard shifting, loud clunk noise on any load and wheels hop during launch attempts.

Lower and upper ball joints can cause moderate constant clunks

Loose Sway Bar mount and worn suspension components cause clunks as well.

As mentioned, I put the car on jack stands and rotate the wheel WITH ENGINE OFF. As I jerk it, I can hear the clunk sound from transmission/diff area. The sound was less predominant after I fitted LSD and there was no wear/chips on the final drive. My friend's accord and odyssey both auto and manual makes the same sound.

Ball Joints/Sway bar links/F&R Engine Mount/Suspension are top notch.

I'm leaning towards a minute freeplay in the FD within factory specs. Had the car for almost 2 years, and many hard launches after turbo didn't do any trouble.
