my n/a does the same and as far as I can make out its ok cause there is a certian amount of slack to be taken up in the transmission which can cause a clunking noise as everything starts to move from stationary .

my n/a makes a clunk noise to when starting off . by reading some other posts on a similer note this seems to be ok . still I greased all the uj joints and prop shafts ,checked diffs and gear/ transfer boxs oil levels, treid pulling pushing the props and u/js as well , it still makes the noise so have learned to live with it.

my td5 does the same and it's normal - although best to check your bushes and universal joints etc just in case

Sounds like UJ(s) are gubbed.

Check the prop for play, if it moves about from side to side on the UJ a fair bit then it would indicate movement in the UJ's.
They should feel fairly solid.

snot normal and dey dunt all do dat.
start at the wheels , check drive members , half shafts , diff flange , uj's , prop splines , tranny box flange and if that don't sort it there might be play in your gearbox main shaft , pop the inspection plate off your tranny box and check the input gear for wear.
drive members don't cost much , props are a little more and input gears a bit more than that but a small amount of play in all three will cause the symptoms you describe. i had **** loads of drive train shunt in mine and i replaced all three of the above and it sorted most of it , my gearbox main shaft is badly worn so only a new gearbox will sort that.

good point.
put it out of gear , hand brake on and rock it back and forth , watch the a frame ball joint as you do so. i think this is how you check it.
