It might make a difference whether it "cracks" going up or coming down. In my experience, problems going over the "break" from clarion to altissimo or back down come from either not covering holes completely or moving your embouchure in some way (whether deliberately or not). First, make sure you're really getting everything covered. Second, pay attention to whether or not you're moving your embouchure either because the clarinet is moving or because you're trying to do something to control the leap. Most of the time, the less you do with your embouchure, the smoother those jumps will be. But if as you make the leap your thumb is shifting or your fingers aren't moving accurately, you may be venting something that shouldn't be open.
If I had to bet without seeing and hearing you which is the more likely cause. my money would would be on an embouchure movement.
