no i just posted that to make you check something that isnt related to your problem![Wink](https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
think about it. when you shift your foot is on the brake. the brakes are at your rear wheels. when you shift from a resting position to drive, if the u-joints are really loose/worn the slack will need to be accounted for and a clanking noise may result.
its either something in your transmission driveshaft or rear axle, and more times than not its a worn u-joint.
