2.4 90 clunk when changing gear

When changing gear recently on my landrover, there is much more of a clunk,( you have to be much more careful letting the clutch off,) and when just sat idling in neutral there is a slight rattling noise coming from the drive train. The drive shafts seem ok, and don’t have to much play in and it had a new clutch less than 5000 miles ago, anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Most recent clunking subject discussed on this thread too:

About the rattle, do you know what clutch has been put in? I believe some clutches has more or less damping even when in neutral (the gearbox is spinning when in neutral.. just none of the gears is locked to the mainshaft). 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Galway Green

Hi, I had exactly the same issue, it appears to be the output shaft. It's a wellknown issue for the puma's as well as the rattling clutch. I brought it in for repair last week after I have been driving it for one year with above sypmtoms, that was not so smart

Output shaft and clutch have been replaced for new, now it drives very smoothly without any clunk or rattling.. Had:
