I too had some low speed clunks when shifting 1-2 or 2-3 moving my car around my driveway, which is at the end of a slight incline. It was hard to duplicate, but it seemed to happen during transitions between gears when the car wasn't under load and had just gone into neutral. It felt like it was right under the middle of the car underneath, where the trans is (duh) but also the big joint in the OEM driveshaft.
After upgrading to a DSS shaft, never had another clunk, so for me anyway, the source was the OEM shaft. This sucks that the factory couldn't get it right and some Boss owners shouldn't be forced to spend 700$ to upgrade their shaft. I always knew I wanted one in my Boss from day 1, and it was in my garage waiting to be installed before my car was delivered.
YMMV
