Default Normal Yoke Play?

Hi there,

Ever since i have my car there's a pretty loud 'Clunk" coming from somewhere in the drivetrain when shifting from park to reverse/drive or drive to reverse. Yesterday i climbed underneath the car to check if i had play in different components and noticed some play in the U-joint and where the yoke slips over the trans shaft. My question now is: Is the amount of yoke play, Radial and up-down, normal or am i facing worn bushings or something? And, could the play in my U-joint generate such a audible and feel-able clunk? Also i noticed there's a crack in the yoke, whoops.. so that one needs to be replaced.
