I have experienced the "clunk" in Packards, Caddies, Chryslers etc. If a band adjustment does not cure it my money is on excessive gear lash in the rear axle. With the car up and in neutral, grab the drive shaft and see how far it rotates freely. Some, perhaps 30 degrees? is normal, 90 degrees is not. You may be able to replicate the clunk but not as loud.
