I think so, as long as it's the same as the classics. Isn't the clunk due to the internal wear on the shock tube where it runs out of useable grease?

Are yours the large diameter inverted type? You would need to get the grease inside the shock body between the 2 bearings. Mine now have a grease nipple fitted for when they run dry.
