Hello all,
Ever since I've had my 99 it has had a severe and loud "clunk" when downshifting from 4th to 3rd. It only happens when travelling at about 35mph to 60mph, mostly on medium-speed highways and city roads (no issues on interstate). It happens the instant I touch the throttle after coasting at those speeds. I have tried to have my wife sit in the back and listen to where the noise may be coming from but we cant really pinpoint it. I have been underneath and wrestled with the driveshaft and it doesn't seem to have any play (maybe I'm not using my big boy pants, idk). The tranny fluid seems nice and red and to the proper level.
Has about 230k miles on the odometer so I'm not surprised this is happening. I have an extra transmission with low miles that I can put in, but I am making a last ditch attempt to maybe save some money in finding out what is causing this. Could I be looking in the wrong place? Thanks for any help!
