Default little silly problem

OK this is a weird but annoying problem, if i am going about 10-15mph and i downshift into first, there is a single clunk noise somewhere under my car. it also happens when i back my car up. I think it is the u-joints on my driveshaft, maybe they are going bad and that is the driveshaft moving a little bit, i don't know...if anyone knows what the hell i am talking about, some help would be great..
also, an unrelated thing...any suggestions on how i can get my key lugnut off without the key, i think the tire place in my town ganked my key and i need to get my front wheels off to do my brakes, any help please
thanks

Don't know about your tranny problem, but you can take your car to a tire shop and tell them you don't have the key and they should have a tool that will take it off. I had to do that before, and you'll have to get new lugnuts to replace the ones they take off. Just buy a set of 4 with a key.
