Clunk when going into gear

Why does my 95 auto clunk when going into gear. I was doing a bunch of plowing the other day, and whenever I would change gears it would give a pretty good clunk.

Thanks
John

Might be a bad u-joint.
Crawl underneigth and twist the drive shaft looking for slop.

I had a friend whos truck was doin that too. Like infidel said it was the u joint, when he took it off it was cracked and was almost into tw0 pieces just waiting to let go. so that would be my best bet why u have a clunking noise.

I gotta agree with a U-joint. Don't forget to check the front drive shaft as well as the rear. Thats where the "clunk" came from on mine.

Well, I checked the U joints and they are all good. Any other suggestions.
