Default Clunking when slowing down?

This probably belongs in the "Transmission" forum .. but anyhow ..

Most often than not, when I slow down in the ute (AU 5.0L auto), just before I stop I get this "clunk" from the drivetrain. It feels like the transmission downshifting to first or something and it torque-loading the driveline. I'm not sure if the clunk comes from the transmission, driveshaft or diff? I've got under it and the uni's seem OK.

What's an easy way to check the diff ring/pinion lash? i.e. without pulling it apart?

Could it be the auto not shifting properly? It seems to function fine, shifts normal, doesn't flare (anymore than any other BTR) .. etc.

Any ideas/suggstions on diagnosing this?

Thanks,
Rod.
