Depends on when you hear the clunk.
When exactly and what driving are you doing when you hear it?

Does the noise start very slowly and then increase as you speed up?
If so then you probably have a dry/sticking Universal Joint at the end of one of the drive shafts.
Release large end of drive shaft gaiters and apply grease (black stuff!!) to the joints,best to do all of them (4) to be sure of getting correct one,and ensure another one doesnt do the same.
