Causes of a "clunk" in the drivetrain?
I have a clunk noise that's fairly persistent. It happens during shifts, take offs, etc, basically any time you're engaging the rest of the drivetrain. I'm going to replace the U-joints tomorrow, but if thats not it, what could it be?

check your torque arm mount, or lcas maybe....i had similar situation, snapped a bolt on the torque arm lol, one bolt would cause shitty launch times and noise / slack in drivetrain

My car has a clunk when it downshifts to 1st at low throttle. Like when you slow down to stop at a light and it changes to green. You give it gas, it downshifts, and CLUNK! Seems to only happen going into first though. Any suggestions for that?

damn, this cluck is tearing people's minds up, HAHA !!!!
i also got this clunk as well. if it WAS the rear end, wouldn't you 1) be able to hear it at all speeds and 2) the car would run like garbage !?!?
just curious. i'm thinking control arm also, but i just haven't had time to check.

I have this same issue. Going over some bumps or part throttle downshifts, CLUNK! It also sounds like mine is coming from the rear, like the torque arm mount back there or LCA. The clunk on shifting might be the transmission mount. Let me know what you find!
