This sounds like the drive train wind-up or lash. Although you may actually hear it in the trans, the lash is a combination of axle /gear/u-joint / rear yoke/ trans gearmesh/input spline/ and clutch spring wind-up.You will always have some lash in this type of system. I f that new mount is stiffer than stock, the clunk you hear could be the result of that. It may not be you have more lash but that you can now hear it.
