"Clunk" when going from "R" to "D"

When i back up in reverse, stop, then go to drive, i sometimes get a "clunk"

usually happens on the first star of the day.

Any ideas?

check your driveshaft flex disc. W124's have two, a front and rear. They look like a rubber donut with a steel band wrapped around them. They go on each end of the propellor shaft. They help cushion the initial torgue jolt that occurs when you put your car in drive.
this link has a picture of them
