diff/tailshaft, so i was once told, but i left mine and it stopped all by itself...

either that or ur reversing into ur letter box or wheelie bin unknowingly, if thats the case have them relocated...

Its the tail shaft mine did it until the tailshaft blew out the back along with the diff housing put it all back and now good as gold!

if there is no baby stroller or small dog under the car then maybe it is worn universal joints?

yeah my TG and TE did that... sounds like more of a *PING* than a clunk but. *shrug* I just go easy in reverse

Hey mate I had a similar prob
mine was the rear sway bar the brackets
were on the wrong way so it would not locate
it self in the grove on the diff/torque tube
and would clunk all the time in reverse.
Could be this just check and make sure they are
the right way round
