Full time 80 series especially pre-1995 tend to wear out the hub drive flange on the front CV which is why you hear a clunk when you put it in gear. In 1995 they went to a longer splined model to reduce the problem. Replace the drive flange and see if the clunk goes away.

maybe you're letting the clutch out too fast.

back lash can also be noticed when you get on and off the throttle
