Has anyone noticed a lout "clunk" when shifting from reverse into park. It really sounds more like the rear end then it does the transmission. If you reverse in, put the truck in drive with your foot still on the brake, then shift to park there is no noise. It concerns me since I have yet to hit 3,000 miles on the truck yet.

 

i drive a dakota, but i thought this was normal...

the dakota is a 5 speed auto btw.

 

had the same problem by 10000 miles its the rear universal on mine or check out output shaft bearings on the trans,,,hope it helps

 

I have heard it once and a while but I did not think that is was anything too serious.

 

I've heard a "clunk" but its not a loud "CLUNK." I hear it when in park and shifting into reverse - usually when it hasn't warmed up.

 

It's happened to me before I don't like the sound of it either. It has only happneed 2x and it was after I was in park and I kept my foot on the brake for like 5 minutes after the truck was off. I don't know why it would particualy do it then but it has, I don't think theres a problem there b/c it only does it when i do that. Maybe its the breaks I don't know. I have 4,500 miles.
