Hi Strawboss,
Did you adjust the backlash between the ring gear and pinion with shim stock? If you don't do that it can cause too much slack between those gears that will cause a clunking sound when you let off of the gas.

Have you examined the input shaft and bearing in the trans? I have found this problem in a number of trannys over the years. Let me know.
