its just slack in the drivetrain, as you accelerate the slack is taken up betwen the teeth which is the clunking sound you hear. Its common to also hear a clunk when the accelerator pedalis quickly depressed.
Quiet a common problem for commodores.

So how much is the fix for this clunking noise? and could i pretty much rule out the diff as the cause of it? If its not a serious problem maybe ill just crank the music up loud and forget about it lol!
Cheers

sorry i didnt explain it clearly, yes the diff is the problem with the slack beeing between the pinion gear and crown wheel, most commonly, however it is completely normal and would not let it worry you.
So yea not a serious problem so just crank up the music and youl be sweet, thats what i do
