shift from park to d or r and "clunk"

I am done the v6 to v8 swap and it seems little crap keeps coming up. Now i have this "clunk" noise everytime i shift from park to drive or reverse. I checked to see if the drive shaft was loose , it was a little , i tightend it up and the noise is still there.

I turned the rear yoke (i guess thats what you call it) And it has a little play in it. Like less then half of an inch both ways.

Is this ok? The new trans has a shift kit in it along with a corvette sevro and shifts pretty hard when your into it. I dont have no problems while driving .

what do you mean the DS was loose and you tightened it? if it was loose and you tightened it i'd pull it and inspect it and the u joints. get under your car and check out the trans mount good change it's broken.

the trans mount is new, its a poly energy suspensions one.

The little metal clip thingys that hold the drive shaft to the rear were a little loose.
