Clunking when downshifting into 1st on 97 JGCL

[spielightdude]

Hi everyone,

I just test drove a jeep grand cherokee laredo and while driving it once in a while when slowing down when it would go into first sometimes it would clunk and every once in a while "albeit not very hard" it would sometimes give a little bit of a buck or kick.

I am wondering if this could be fixed by changing out the tranni and other related fluids?

If not any idea whats causing this and any way to fix it?

All in all it drives good and strong and feels very solid.

Thanks,

Joe
