And no it isn’t the lovely normal LR backlash 
only under acceleration not deceleration, not in cornering |
It could still a 101 different things but it does sound like a worn UJ.
The UJ on the propshaft wears, as you pull away it takes up the slack (the clonk) then you won't hear it again until the UJ has relaxed and you take up the slack again. At higher speeds you generally won't always hear it as there's so much else going on. I replaced the prop on mine not long back, it had the same symptoms and the UJ was shot and a real bugger to get off.
