Can you see the engine move when the clunk happens? does it sound like it's coming from up high, or down low from around the starter area?

It's possible the spring in the solenoid that disengages the starter drive after you release the key is getting weak. The sound you are hearing could be the starter drive bouncing back into the flywheel after the engine is started (if the noise is coming from down low near the starter).
