How many clunks when you shift?
I've got a 98 3.8 and no codes which otherwise runs okay for 8 years old and 125,000 miles, but I've noticed 3 distinct clunks when the transmission shifts to overdrive under moderate accelleration. How many clunks (if any) do the rest of you get when overdrive kicks in?

Re: How many clunks when you shift?
I have a 98 GL 3.8 as well...and my shift to overdrive is about the smoothest part of the ride...i would think there is something wrong.
Good luck though, post a reply if you are able to figure out the problem. |

Like the first reply to your post.....you shouldn't have any noise on OD engagement. Do you have any noise on going from D to R? If you do it might be motor mounts you're hearing. Regards Dan

Re: How many clunks when you shift?
Just a followup. A Mercon bath and filter change took care of the clunking. The magnet in the pan looked about like you'd expect after 125K miles. Maybe 1/8 inch of particles stuck to it. All the shifts are much smoother now. It was overdue, since it'd been about 60K miles since the last fluid change.
