Default Small clink noise when shifting in to reverse/drive

Title pretty much says it all. I haven't had the ability to get under my car yet and start shaking things down looking for loose parts, but I figured it would be helpful if someone already knows what could be causing this and I can immediately check that out.

go straight for the trans mount. Probably worn out. Either (or combined with) header/exhaust banging. Have a friend throw it in reverse/drive while you lay and look...you'll probably see the tail housing doing a dance ^^

+1 on the U-joint or just drive line slop, comes with age.
