CLUNK

I have a 97 explorere.......it clunks when i take my foot off the gas befor I downshift or when I coast........the clunk seems to come from the center of the rig and I can actually feel it in my gear shifter........the rig was doing this before my transfercase blew and then I rebuilt and replaced my transfer case......the rig ran great for about 400 kms and then right back to the same old clunking.......sometimes its worse than others.........any ideas?

The driveshaft is a two piece unit, most have a bellows where they join. Grease the splined shaft and no more cluncking.
