Might just be the carrier bearing, they are known to rip the rubber around the bearing and create a thump, especially on decel. It could also be something in the flywheel/clutch combo.

I hope its a carrier bearing, that's like $100 to buy one.... I didn't feel anything when pressing the clutch down, the noise would get loud, then as it came back to idle, and its not moving, the noise goes away.

btw:just talked got the title from steve, he's gonna take a look at it tomorrow, and will check the carrier bearing and transfer case out. Hopefully this will be an easy fix.
