I am having a loud clank and it sounds like it is coming from my tranny. If I exelerate fast and let off the gas it will shift and there is the clank. I am also getting a lound metal grinding sound coming from the rear end when I take off from a stop and when I come to a stop.

IS there any vibration issue as well?

Check the rear u-joint. Sounds like it is seizing.
The needle bearings will powderize.
