Default Rear end clunking...

For the last few months, every once in a while, when I'm coasting in gear, then hit the gas, I get a sort of hesitation and clunk before pick up. I notice is most in 3rd and 4th, sometimes in 2nd. Seems to show most around 40 - 50 mph. BTW, I've got Quattro, 5M, and ~73K miles. I haven't changed my clutch or fluid, and don't think I need to at this point due to mileage and lack of slippage. I'm thinking it's a dif issue, but I'm really hoping it's something cheaper (wishful thinking). Any ideas? TIA.

Might be a simple as leaking engine/tranny mounts. Or perhaps the snub mount is done.

Default Not the Snub (NS), as I checked it when I did my TB change a couple of months ago...

I'll have to check the mounts, but it always feels like it's coming from the rear, not front or underneath me. I assume that if they are shot, I'll see/feel fluid on the body. Thanks for the insight.

Might be loose bolts on the sway bar. STFA for clunking rear.
