Why does the transmission clunk when shifting gears?

Are you sure it is the transmission that is clunking? It could be the u-joints on the drive shaft that are making the noise. When the u-joints on the drive shaft are bad, there is an audble clunk when you accelerate and when slowing down (basically the same motions you go through when shifting gears).

Why does your transmission clunk when it down shifts into passing gear or down shifts into first?

A very likely possibility other than problems within the transmission itself would be the transmission mount. This is a rubber bushing in a metal bracket that supports the transmission by connecting it to the frame. When the bushing becomes worn it allows the transmission to move and it is very noticeable because the hard shifting of an automatic transmission is masked or absorbed by this bushing. Hope that helps, good luck!
