Do I have transmission problems???

[95slowcar]

My car has benn doing this for a while now but im kind of concerned about it. It makes a klump sound. It does it when it is moving slowly, but not yet in first gear, if im slowing down to take a corner it does it as i accelerate, out of it. My explanation of the problem is probably hard to follow, but I dont know how else to describe it. Anybody know what the problem might be???

tranny mount perhaps

thats what mine is doing right now too, but it also does it when i jump on the gas at a low speed... it sounds like a broken tranny mount to me. i think runnin my slicks at the track the other weekend did it in

If it is a big clunk that you can feel through the center council, then it is probably the tranny mount.

If you can't feel it under you, it could be U-joints, or your gears might have a little play.

There isn't that much that would really make a clunking noise inside an automatic transmission. If the transmission was so far gone as to start making a clunking noise, you would probably notice other problems with it too.

Yeah, at low speeds. So it is probably a tranny. mount then. That's not very hard to fix is it??

shouldnt be hard to replace. just get the car on jackstands, then jack up the tranny a bit , remove the bolts holding the mount, pull the mount, then put the new one in, and bolt it up.
