Subject:clunking/clanging in syncro drivetrain

Syncronuts,

If I quickly release my clutch, I get a clunking/clanging noise from the
drivetrain. I can prevent the sound by being more gentle in releasing the
clutch. It feels like there is some slack in the drivetrain. Would this be
the U-joints in the driveshaft or something internal to the front diff?
There are no vibrations or other symptoms.
