Normal. Just play in the brake shoes.


When you set the park brake and let the weight of the car off on to them, it will load the shoes with a little offset depending on the direction of incline. You'll notice the clunk when pulling the brake while driving forward if you had previously set the parking brake to prevent the car from rolling backwards. The play in the brake assembly snaps forward the moment the shoes engage. The clunk is probably a good sign that the parking brake is actually disengaged and not bound up when the handle is down.
