Transmission Clunk?

RE: Transmission Clunk?
Tranny mount is fine, I checked that with the U-joints. And It only does it when i'm going from drive to netural to reverse from a full stop. I heard about the thing with the park where the fluid doesnt flow through. I'm getting kinda worried, because i never noticed it before, and last night I was trying to downshift into second gear at 40 MPH because i was pissed at the jerk to cut me off and i wanted to let him know, however I goofed up and threw it in 1st =( =( =( ... needless to say it took like a split second to throw it in neutral, and didnt realize i still had the foot on the gas =(

If you take the pan off and look towards the front of the tranny, there is a big *** looking torque converter thing. This is called the drum and is what is making the noise of which you are speaking. The noise comes from the spline and spirals outward into the drum. You probably notice it more in the morning when your idle rpms are high and your t fluid is cold. It is normal for any of the trannys with an od box on the back end. If you go on a nice long drive(more than a mile to the local convenient store), stop for a cup of coffee or to relieve yourself a couple hundered miles out, and it still clunks you may have a problem.

I'm having the same problem but with an 06 ram 1500 big horn with only 1500 miles on an auto tranny. I just noticed it today, wasn't doing it before. The engine was not cold as i just came home from work. I also noticed that from 4th to 5th the gears drag (the RPMs get really high before shifting into 5th. This is a BRAND NEW truck, I should not be having these problems, this is my first dodge and already im thinking i should have trusted my gut and not have bought it, knowing dodge's rap of horrible, short life span trannies. PLEASE HELP me find hope in this truck.
