The clunk...I've heard other people report that as being normal on 5spd. I can tell you on my auto V6 there is none. Have you check the fluid levels and inspected the drivetrain for play at all? U-joint, connecting flanges, etc.

The binding, I don't know. I guess I'd have to hear it. Sorry. Neither of my Yota 4wds's (also have a 5spd, 4cyl) bind in a straight path, though.
IF someone swapped the diffs the VIN code is useless to determine what they are. Manual verification is the only way. The tires slipping and bucking on road sounds like 2 different ratios to me
