When does it Thump? When you start? When you stop? When you are rolling then hit the gas?

Have you checked your U-joints? Cheap and a good place to start.

Get on a flat surface, block your tyres up, put it in Neutral climb under and wiggle your drive shaft in all directions, including twisting it. If there is ANY play, its a trip to the parts store for an $11 u joint. Start by checking that and then work down the line
