A really big mess

2008 Mazda 3i
So a bit of backstory. My car is a 2008 Mazda 3 2.0. Blew the engine last year. And transmission went out about 2 months ago. Got a used transmission out of a 2007. Swapped them out. It didn't have a transmission sore sensor. So I am waiting on the cash to get that part. But I have other issues. My TPmS light is going crazy at me. All of my tires are at 31 Psi. But it's blinking. Issue 2. My power steering decides after about 5 minutes of driving that it no longer wants to work. Issue 3. Since replacing the transmission there is a clunking sound coming from the front driver side. Only happens upon acceleration and deceleration and doesn't happen all the time. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
I can help you with 1 and 3...

You probably have one or more dead batteries in your TPMS sensors. They're only supposed to last five or six years.

And you likely have a bad joint in your left axle shaft that's causing your clunking sound.
