I think Daddy threw that chore back at the dealer a week or so later, I know 
it spent a couple of days there when it was about a month old & it didn't 
have this funny clunk anymore.

Chuckle, I once swapped the M6 tranny out for a 3 speed+OD in a 52 Chrysler & 
while changing the flywheel as I was putting an 11" clutch in it later, 
having worn out my patience striping the hubs out of flathead ford disks 
under the original 9" cover, I only had 2 bolts in the flywheel, & one of 
them was an old square headed plow bolt I got out of a bucket.  There was 
supposed to be 6.  It ran about 125 thou that way with no further problems 
other than using up all the gearsets for that tranny in Iowa and southern CA.  
Never broke it dragging, but I sure poured a lot of teeth out of that case 
over the years, usually in 5 oclock traffic when it went smunch.
