Default "Clunk" noise during upshifting

I have a 1990 Audi 90 Quattro 20 valve that runs fantastic! Only thing I have noticed and its been this way since I've owned her (about 8 months) is that when i'm upshifting on acceleration I hear a "clunk" noise when I let out the clutch. It sounds like it's coming more near the rear. I do notice that if I gently let out the clutch and shift gently through the gears it's not as bad. I have zero vibration in the driveshaft even at over 80 mph. It's more annoying than anything. I was thinking maybe it was the u-joint or carrier bearing?? I did read in my Bentley that the u-joint can be lubricated. I ALSO read that these stupid drivelines CANNOT be repaired!! WTF!!!!! Also,..is it really necessary to have a special alignment tool when re-installing?? Thanks Mike

check your trans and rear diff mounts (which they are actually the same mounts) if they are shot, order a set from 034 :-)
