'96 GC
Fluids are all good. Yes , I agree, there is a clunk when going from P
through R to D, however as soon as I started to roll forward the un-usual
clunk occurred. No noises when turning= CV's probably ok.
Noise stopped, hasn't occurred since..........stumped.

Try this.
Engine running, foot on the brake.
Put it in drive, give it some gas
foot off the gas, put it in reverse
and give it some gas. Then do the
same going into drive.
(don't floor it, just strain the engine a
bit against the brakes)
That will put a bit of strain on the driveline
and make any weak or failing U joint sound off.
There are other possiblilities including a broken
tooth in one of the diffs but usually that makes a
real bad grinding noise you can feel.
Was the clunk equal with wheel speed or was it faster?

The driveline will make noise at about
twice the rate than the wheel moves due
to gear reduction in the diffs. The only
reason I mention diffs is the outer ring
gear also rotates at tire speed. IF you have
a limited slip rear and it's very cold they
can stick till warmed up.
