So sometimes when i shift from park to reverse, park to drive, drive to reverse, and reverse to drive to makes a clunking noise? More going into reverse the any other. My trucks got 120,000km about 74000 miles. I have heard these transmission arnt the greatest? What you think the problem could be? You think my transmission could be going?

Cheers

check your u-joints.. mine clunks too when i shift from reverse - drive, vice versa... and one quick question.. why are you shifting it like that?.. thats how they become extremely warm, if im not mistaken

 

mine does it to, slop in my rear end, ive always wondered about it too, but every dak ive drove does it, well around my year that is...

 

Wats wrong with theim shifting? Well ill Check my U-joints. Btw are these transmission as crappy as i have read about? Mine seems to be pretty good.

 

sounds like U joints.

but these trannies are pretty good if you maintain them.

 

How hard would be to change your U joints? Would changing your tranny oil to synthetic make it last longer? Make any different in smoother shifting? Or lasting longer?

 

I did both my u joints in 1/2 hour, you just need a press.

and my tranny shifts better after I switched to synthetic.

 

Damm, i dont have a press maybe ill go and out and buy one. My tranny shifts pretty good right now, what synthetic oil you using? Is it worthdoing?You change your engine oil over to synthetic too? Notice any differnt?

 

I'm running royal purple in my tranny. and I switched my truck over to castrol GTX syntec when I first got it over 2 years ago. I use synthetics in almost everything.


if you have an aluminum drive shaft, then the will be a PITA to do. mines steel, so it was pretty easy.

 

How do you tell if its steel or aluminum? was it a option? I just got my truck not to long ago and dont really know that much about it! wat grade you running in your tranny? engine is like 10w-30? do you know any good dodge sites that can tell you wat your truck have like a vin check site that breaks down all the codes??
