well, auto trannies are just big metal grinding machines filled with the equivalent of dishwashing liquid. Because they are fluid operated, I'd also suspect the u joints for your clank.
Although it could be axle wrap, leave your foot off the brake and see what happens when you put it in gear, if the back tires jerk really bad but the clank disappears, its probably just the leafs taking up the driveline slack. If it still clanks, check the u joints.
