Default clunk noise when starting

I have a 2006 Precedent and it has A clunk noise when starting. I removed the seat to look at the clutches and I see that the drive clutch makes a noise when it opens but not when it closes. It seems to do this more when the engine is hot. I got this cart used so I don't know the history but it has made this clunking sound from day one. Any ideas what to look for or what to check.

Thanks

Yes The Clutches are working smoothly. The clunk will happen as soon as the engine starts and will happen over and over with out the cart moving. I have held the brake and repeatedly started and stopped the engine and it will clunk over and over every time I start it. Only clunks right at start up.

Thanks

Thanks shadowan

My cart is is at the lake 100 miles from home but this will give me something to go on when I get back to look at it.

Thank you
