It does sound like the posi may be broke. Do both wheels spin when holding the brakes? My stock rear I added 3:42's and they whine, but never hear a clunk clunk.

Take the cover off and find out what you are working with. If it is clunking that much it probably won't be difficult to see if there is something wrong.

GM says that the Posi on a 99-02 car makes some clunking sounds on decel and going slowly around a turn. I say pull the cover and look for loose metal, gears missing teeth, or any other suspect foriegn objects.

If everything looks ok... try new fluid, and add GM posi additive

It is a limited Slip-Posi. It is the posi slipping simply put. Don't forget to put the limited slip fluid in when you change your fluid or you may have more problems. It is annoying mine does the same thing.
