Don't rush to the bank just yet. It may well be your gbox or tbox but eliminate all the other (cheaper and easier to fix) problems first.
Sounds more like an A-frame joint from the description - they are a bitch to change but cheap (buy some plasters - you'll need them).

Prob nowt wrong with tbox, sounds like play on output shaft of gearbox and tbox input gear, some times you can get away with just replacing input gear.

you seem to be convinced its gearbox / transfer box related, so in reply to the pm (ask on here as more heads give more options than just me replying to pm's), feel free to check the gear on the main box output shaft, but I reckon theres other stuff to check as well.
with assistance from a suitable person, with the engine running, hold the footbrake on and raise the clutch at a sufficient speed to find the biting point and make the clunk. either forward gear or reverse, or both, get it to make its clunk while stationary then narrow down where its coming from.
have you removed the mainbox output shaft bearing plate yet, or is it still driveable?

he is asking a few by PM, rather than looking for answers. he needs to help himself first

+1, check the bushes on your rear shocks as well, that's what my strange knock/clunk turned out to be, that's a nice easy fix
