Little tranny question/problem??
I have a problem with my auto (98 venge 2.5 automatic). Everytime I slow down and turn or accelerate from around 20-35 mph I hear this clunck in the front left. I have replaced the front struts/mounting hardware, axles, and joints. Replaced the front motor mount and inspected the others. My noise is most noticeable when I slow down to turn and then put on a little gas and the clunk occurs. Always in the front left and very repeatable. One thing I did notice is if I manually shift into 2nd when slowing and preparing to corner and then D after accelerating it doesn't do it. It seems to me that tranny isn't going into 2nd gear on the down shift. Is this possible? If so any ideas?

Not really an answer, but just a thought: Is the transmissions on these cars computer controled or mecahnicaly opperated?
If it was computer controlled, may be a bad speed sensor or an electrical conector dirty?????
If it is mechanicaly controlled, possible to have a vaccume leak? Or kick down cable out of adjustment???? I know on Chevy trucks, the kickdown cable can get out of adjustment and cause all kinds of goofy stuff to happen. ( Also known as the Throttle Valve cable, or most commonly called simply the TV cable! lol. )
Like I said, not an answer. Just something to think about.

Well a little more info after driving and making some more repairs over the last year. The cluncking noise is-was coming from the rear lower control arms. The tranny doesn't seem to want to shift out of overdrive automatically unless I come to a complete stop. When I slow down for a turn and manually take it out of overdrive using the button on the shifter it work fine. What controls the overdrive down shift??
