#708130July 1, 1999
POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
I RETURNED MY TRUCK TO FORD DEALERSHIP COMPLAINING OF A SHARP "CLUNKING" IN THE DRIVELINE WHEN LETTING UP ON ACCELERATOR. THE DEALER ADDED 1 QT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID, RAN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. IT WAS REQUESTED THAT I TAKE A DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN ON A TEST DRIVE TO ILLUSTRATE PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE "CLUNKING" WAS A "NORMAL TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT". THE "CLUNKING" HAS NOT INCREASED IN INTENSITY, BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED IT IS NORMAL OPERATION DUE TO 1)THE SHARPNESS OF THE JOLT AND 2} CO-WORKERS EXACT SAME MODEL TRUCK DOES NOT EXIBIT THESE SYMPTOMS. *AK
