Zt 260 clunk

Hi, noticing a slight clunk sometimes when lifting on/off throttle, sounds like it may be from the rear of the car?
Just wondering if this is common?
Thanks

Every single V8 I've driven does the same, and it's not very endearing......a bit like a car with a knackered Hardy Spicer joint in the prop.

In the main, transmission lash in these is caused by the incorrect replacement of the running in oil supplied in the LSD.
