I have a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 360. When I take off it shifts really rough and if i let of the pedal it makes a very loud clank noise when shifting into third. It is a rebuilt transmission and does fine going into fourth gear. I dont know if it needs another transmission or if it is a solenoid or sensor. Please help!!!

 

A Clank like a U-Joint clank?

 

Well thats exactly what it sounds like but it has new u joints under it too, and they are fine. Thats kinda why I'm puzzled.

 

What about trany and motor mounts? Transfer case? Can you tell where the sound is comming from?

 

Could be the sunshell and the direct drum clanging together.

 

Thanks ill take a look....would this cause it to shift hard too?

 

I think the hard shifting is causing the noise. Might want to check your tv cable and clean your governor solenoid.
