Jay,

Are you referring to a 2wd or Syncro? Syncro driveshafts (the one that
goes front to back) ping or clunk as you pull away. There are various
remedies but it doesn't really hurt anything in my experience.

Of course, if it's 2wd it can be a bunch of things. Loose torque
converter maybe? Had one situation which turned out to be a broken
caliper bolt. Broken throw out bearing fork?

If you haven't already, it is best to specify year, model, and
drivetrain when asking these sort of questions.
