When exactly is it clunking?
When you shift into 4wd, or when you're driving?
If it's when you're driving, then most of them do it. Never been able to identify exactly what it is, but she's still going fine after 10 years...

it happens when i lock the hubs and select 4h or 4L and always happens as soon as i loose traction, hopefully that should help you understand better

If it sounds like teeth slipping then yeah its probably the transfer, I had the sound every now and then, but once I fitted my 33's it was there all the time, whenever the driveline was under heavy load (like when going up a steep rocky hill and the wheels would start slipping), spoke to the daihatsu wreckers in brisbane here and he agreed, grabed another transfer for $300 and swapped them over, I pulled the old one apart while I was at it and yeah it was shagged, the chain had stretched so much it was wearing through the alloy case and a steel shaft near it.
Its a relatively easy swap, just unbolts off of the back of the box, just drop the tailshafts and g/box crossmember and lower the back of the box down, gave plenty of room.
Hope that helps
