Shifting through P R D N
Looks like oil is leaking from rear of transfer case (what is that? seal or bearing?)
Both of my u-joints are fine as you can tell (front and rear)
WHAT IS THE ANNOYING CLUNK?!

The clunk? Thats normal. My truck did it with a worn out 137,000 mile factory transmission, did it on a fresh re-build, and still does it to this day. Every Ram I have ever heard or ridden in does this.

The drive shell and the direct drum couple together. The drive shell has notches cut into it, the direct drum has tabs made onto it, these peices fit together, the drive shell will wear over time, the direct drum eats into it making clearance.
The direct drum is applied in reverse. so when you have your foot on the break in neutral or park, the drive shell is stopped, as is the direct drum because it is not applied, only the forward drum is turning, but the clutches are not applied.
So when you put the shifter into reverse the rear band comes on, thats ok, because the reverse drum is not turning, BUT the direct clutch comes on, when you apply those clutches they grab the forward drum hub that the direct clutches are splined to.
As i told you the forward drum is turning, because it is splined into the TC which is always turning, so when the direct drum grabs the spinning forward drum, it stops it from turning, but is a very abrupt stop and the forward drum will pull the direct drum into the stopped driving shell. When the shell is new you wont hear anything, but after the shell wears there will be enough clearance to hear a loud clunk.

But it's only got around 4000 miles on the new transmission.
