The "backlash" felt by reversing the drive shaft direction is normally the clearance in the spider gears in the diff so to get rid off that ( not necessary unless it is excessive) is to pull the diff center out and fit new thrust washers behind the spider gears
next check the diff mount bushes as the diff reaction will move the bolts in the mounts and make the noise

Rear end clunk when accelerating and going into second gear and reversing

if this noise wasn`t there before the wheel bearing was replaced and only showed up afterwards then its a defective wheel bearing.shops have this problem from time to time when a cheap qaulity bearing is used as they are not made to the same specs as a qaulity bearing,also have the cv joint checked on the same side as it could have a problem from changing the bearing for what ever the reason.the joint may have moved more than normal when its installed in the car.strange things happen at times.

1966 mustang coupe motor 289,4 barrel carb.automatic trans. makes a noise when put in reverse,is this normal?

What kind of noise? A clunk, chatter, whir, grinding, or what? If it's a clunk, you may have a worn U-joint. Test by holding brake on and change between drive and reverse and back. If you hear a "clunk" when the tranny engages, it's probably a worn U-joint. Not a hard repair to do in the driveway. Always change BOTH front and rear U-joints - if one's worn, so's the other.
