loud clunk in reverse

Hello again. Ok I am hearing a really loud clunk as I shift into reverse. Its very loud and not normal and gets louder if the car is on a hill. What could this sound be any ideas? Thanks for any input guys.

Same as your last thread you made. Flex disk.

There is, but they seldom go bad. You can easily check it

Take a look in the DIY sticky @ top. Latest post. I just changed my FD and you can see what a bad flex disk will look like. I also posted my rear one (which is fine). A picture tells the best story.

Don't get me wrong though...I'm not sure if these cars are supposed to me 100% quiet when put in reverse on a slope, the same way its normal that they can slip back a few inches when in park and you let off the brake.
