A clunk from park to reverse in a vehicle often indicates a potential issue with the transmission or drivetrain. This noise can result from worn or damaged components such as the transmission mounts, universal joints, or internal transmission parts. Additionally, low Transmission Fluid levels or fluid contamination can also lead to harsh engagement between gears. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a professional to diagnose and address the issue before it leads to more serious problems.
could be bad mounts on either the tranny or engine?
i would make sure that the engine is idling at the right rpm cause to fast of rpm can cause that for sure
The rubber isolators in the engine mounts have worn out or the CV joints in the drive shafts are worn out.
bad synco rings
sounds like a motor or transmission mount is your likely problem
YOU WILL FEEL A CLUNK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IIN REVERSE OR DRIVE AND IS ACCELERATED WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED
Worn trans or diff parts. If it gets worse, have it looked at.
when you change directions from forward to reverse it makes a clunk sound and there is a slit delay in movement.
it could possible be the U-Joint which is a cheap and easy fix. it's connected to your drive shaft.
Pull the rear wheels off and check the brakes. Something may have broken or fell apart.

If the ticking is in time to wheel speed and most noticeable on turning I would suspect an outer CV joint. An inner axle joint might clunk when shifting into reverse. Maybe they're on the same axle. Other possible causes of clunking are worn-out motor mounts.
