On my 74 TR6, IRS, I also have a clunk but I dont thnk its in the drive
train, but in the rear suspension somewhere. It sounded like the
exhaust system but thats not it. I hear it when I go over rough roads,
very annoying. Its probably in one of those armstong shocks, but havent
been able to get it apart to confirm.
AND PS: Give my TR6 and my dog over Saddam anyday.
