Default Driveshaft noise?? help

I have a 98 ws6 a4 and everytime i put it from reverse to drive or vice versa i hear a sound coming from under the car it almost sounds like someone is tapping on the aluminum driveshaft ... it's a small "tink" sound to try and describe it best. i looked at the drive shaft and it appears ok it even has grease fittings in the u joints. I have no clue, but a bud of mine had the same prob with his 99 a4 and could never figure it out. any ideas what to look for?
Thanks,
