CLUNK
#3
RE: CLUNK
I have the same clunk in reverse and sometimes in drive. I had it checked out and I was told it was my gears - too much play between ring and pinion. I am not worried about it at this time because I am having my gears changed out anyways. If the clunking persists after gear changeI will have it checked out further. Let us know what you find out.

RE: CLUNK
Yeah I have the same problem, but mine is a 97. I had the u joints replaced at a mechanic shop. Took it for a drive and noticed it still did it so went back and asked them about it and there response was just that there was alot of moving parts from the transmission to the rearend and its nothing I should worry about.

Don't cha just hate being talked down to ... like a driveshaft and differential are just SO complicated that you wouldn't understand them if they explained what the problem was?
From the FSM:
DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or clunk noise when the vehicle is shifted into gear (or the clutch engaged), can be caused by:
- High engine idle speed.
- Transmission shift operation.
- Loose engine/transmission/transfer case mounts.
- Worn U-joints.
- Loose spring mounts.
- Loose pinion gear nut and yoke.
- Excessive ring gear backlash.
- Excessive side gear to case clearance.
The source of a snap or a clunk noise can be determined with the assistance of a helper. Raise the vehicle on a hoist with the wheels free to rotate. Instruct the helper to shift the transmission into gear. Listen for the noise, a mechanics stethoscope is helpful in isolating the source of a noise.
