Question clunking sound when shifting into reverse?

I noticed this while sitting in a parking lot the other day.....

neutral, no sounds. just got fresh rotors and pads on, havent had problems with the brakes. however, sometimes if I shift a little unsmooth, there seems to be a clunking noise coming from the front...sounds exactly like if you had a bag of cans and shook em. recently, now when I shifted into reverse, the same sound is being made. I tried putting it in neutral, fine, then into first (without moving), fine, then I try putting it into reverse from neutral (without moving) and right when I put it into reverse it clunks. if I just go from reverse to neutral to reverse again it doesnt clunk, only if I go into first and then neutral reverse.....

I am thinking that it is just the clutch? but I am no mechanic so idk....exedy twin plate stage 4 clutch in there btw

sounds like the transfer case.. it tends to do that. Does it ever sound like that when you leave your car idling for a while? if so your fine

ooook

yeah i was told that it might do that because reverse isn't synchronized with the other gears? lol idk as long as it doesn't mean huge issues with the clutch or tranny or something
