The clunking noise is normal with the Spohn T/A. But of more concern is your pinion angle. Did you set the pinion angle? I would definitely do some research on just how to exactly set your pinion angle, and what the degree mesurements you are taking really mean.

For starters go Here or Here

If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself - then definitely have it done professionally. You'll kick youself in the A$$ if you let it run too long with the angle incorrect.
