Changing diff bushings are way beyond my capabilities. Flexdisc has no tears, but is hard, while the diff bushings are probably OEM at 155 mi. Is there any way to determine if it's the diff bushings or flexdisc that's causing the traditional "clunk" when shifting to reverse / drive?

It's usually the rear bushings that thunk. I can tell if they're bad visually. If they're bad enough to thunk you typicaly can see the lack of symmetry in the bushing. If you're courageous enough to be under the car while having a helper hold the brakes and shift drive to reverse you can watch them thunking. Proceed at your own risk.
