The "clunking" you are describing is more than likely caused by either a faulty left drive sprocket, the drive shaft or a combination of both. The drive sprockets are equipped with a needle bearing type clutch. When they fail, the clutch does not grab the shaft and drive it correctly. You may just need to replace the left drive sprocket. In some cases you will need to replace the sprocket and the drive shaft.
you are best to stay with the original configuration, it gives you the best of both worlds, as for a chain o ring is the best, i recommend yu replace chain and sprockets as one, putting a chain on a use sprocket will accelerate wear and tear
If you have a bicycle with a deraleur system (chain with a lot of different-sized sprockets in the rear), is is possibly because the sprockets are worn combined with a slightly stretched (worn) chain. The best solution is to replace the offending sprockets (they are always the smaller ones) and the chain. You should be on your way. (Before doing ANY of that, however, MAKE SURE that your gears are adjusted properly. A deraleur that is trying to stay between gears will cause just this same symptom.)
