If it were me I would start by looking at universals, but I've been caught out by such things before. The fact that it only seems to happen under initial take off and then under heavier engine breaking makes it a little less likely in my mind - wouldn't a lose uni be a more constant noise? New rear mounts improved it...? Yes, could still be universal... but... mmmm! Output shaft? Gearbox bearings? Clutch centre? The universal would be the cheapest place to start for sure.

I once pulled out and stripped a gearbox and transfer case looking for a 'clunk' the ended up being in the rear diff, so don't trust anything I say! LOL
