Tranny clunks in reverse


Recommended Posts

Posted

My tranny is an auto and when I put it in reverse it clunks really hard :evil: it also clunks in drive when I hammer on tha gas but only when it downshifts and and at low speeds 10-70 KMH. Any ideas on what it might be???????? I was thinking maybe tranny mounts so I want to get those looked at but other than that I have no idea. Thanx 4 any advice :)

Tranny mount / bolts.

Also, make sure all is tight and that your down pipe is tighten.

I had the issue on my old Cutlass.

You might want to check the condition of your tranny fluid. It could be really old and causing problems. My wife's cavalier was doing that and I changed the fluid and it shifted like new.

i would do what redfox said to do but also check the dog bones they are probaly bad too

 

mine cluncked hard too until i changed the dog bones now it is not so bad

 

i have not got around to the lower mounts cause i don't want to do them laying on gravel but i will get to then in due time

Is it hard to change them???? I don't know how to do it but i'm pretty good at doing stuff if i'm pointed in the right direction.

I work for a factory and we mate the tranny's to the engines and put on all the accesorys, A/C, alternators, belts, wireing harnesses, oil and tranny dip sticks, clutches and other stuff. It's alot easier when the engine tranny unit is out of the car :) Oh yeah I build engines for the grand vitara, vitara, chevy tracker, and next year we get to build the engines for the Exquinox :D I smell a raise

I have that problem, did the dog bones and it got a "little" bit better... not much though... I'm suspecting engine mount because my engine kind of sits tilted in the bay.

i think redfox needs a mount tech tip

 

i think i will do mine when i have chance at school and do a write up

 

i am not sure how to do it (have not looked at much except to the tranny service)

 

so redfox look for a write up in a month or so!
