I know they sit in second until you take off I believe, but am wondering about this thud or clunk taking off if it is normal or not. Anyone encountered this before?

I had the same problem with my 82 240D. The drive line support bearing and bushing are worn out. The repair cost for me was $192, although the part itself is a fraction of that. If you do it yourself, remember to line up the two shaft pieces the same because they're balanced at the factory.
