Default Clunk sound on park to reverse? help

I hear Clunk underneath front between park and reverse.
took look at u joint they rust up. how do i check if that is the problem

maybe because i have build tranny and maybe that can be it little too hard. but it only does it on fresh start in the morning.

I would go ahead and replace the U joints, usually the clunking is a sign of a bad U joint

I would check and grease the ones that are fine and replace all the others. If you can change them yourself and they have a lot of miles on them then I would replace all 4 of them.
