Remember all my posts last yr about the clunking sounds from the rear/back of my car.
I have spent a few thousand changing amongst others the driveshafts,center bearing,subframe/axle bushes, trailing arm bushes,transmission mount,differential mount etc.
My car did become quieter but it only seemed to amplify the main annoying sound.....a thumping sound just before the car comes to a stop.
I have a 4 speed automatic.
Today I experimented when I drove on gear 3 and not D and guess what..........no more thump sound.
My question is what is wrong with my auto transmission?
Whats wrong with gear 4/D?
Does my auto transmission need an overhaul?
Could I have your feedback pls.....I dont think I can afford to drive on gear 3 all the while just to avoid the occasional thump.
Thanks guys!
