Question 04 dakota Quad Cab - Rearend Clunk when Shifting

Hey all...

I just purchased my first dodge. 2004 dakota quad cab, 5 sp manual, 3.7 L.
with 28 k miles and I have to say I LOVE IT!

I'll just tell you guys bluntly.. Everytime I shift I get a clunk sound and feeling from underneith and under the back. If I easily, slow let off the clutch, there isnt a clunk BUT if I dont let the clutch out perfectly with the gas then the clunk is there.
Its louder , the quicker I let the clutch out..
Does this sound like a trans axle problem? Perhaps excessive play where the rear pumpkin and axle meet? Or is this perfectly normal..

I've have manuals before and never heard or felt this..
