How can you be 100% sure its from the t-case? Clunks are usually from the driveshaft u joints.

Yeah, 95% thats what it is.

Its not bad and theres nothing wrong with your gears. They're worn in the way have have been for years, so changing it would cause alot more problems.

You can either:

1. get use to it and ignore it, since its normal for all solid rear end vehicles

or

2. Get new gears set up, but they'll end up being the same way after use and they get worn in.
