Hmmm. Why did you buy it?

Check your tail shaft U-joints. The clunk could be that, also the
vibration, possibly the reverse problem too. Also check your engine mounts
to ensure that the engine has not shifted forward. Esspecially check that
the tail shaft yoke has 6-10mm of in-out freeplay on the
transmission/transfer case. If the engine has shifted, AND the UJ's are
loose, the yoke can rattle around and wear out the yoke bearing/bush
(whatever's fitted to your vehicle).
