On my '98 V8 4X4 CC w/auto. trans. I get a "clunk" when shifting into
drive and even worse when shifting into reverse from a dead stop...
My comparison vehicle ('96 Ford Explorer) doesn't have the "clunking"
symptom.
I got my '98 FSM today and it says the possible culprits could be as
follows:
High engine idle speed (Don't think so...)
Loose engine/transmission/transfer case mounts.
Worn U-joints (Don't think so/new vehicle)
Loose spring mounts.
Loose pinion gear nut and yoke.
Excessive ring gear backlash.
Excessive side gear/case clearance.
Before I waist beaucoup time at the dealership or start farting around
under the vehicle, I thought I might ask all you '97 & '98 auto.
trans. owners out there if you get any clunking noise when shifting.
Just trying to figure out if this is indigenous to the species...
Thanks.
