clunk sound when accelerating


Recommended Posts

Mine does this. Feels and sounds like a transmission clunk in my DJ. Resuming the cruise control will cause it or sometimes reapplying the accelerator after a coast will cause it. Are we talking about the same thing here? Should I have my front axles checked? I have always assumed it was a tranny noise. Re-torqued implies that axles were still tight but a clunk in the axle says to me that something came loose. If so, I'd say it was a re-tightening or securing of something related to the axle. That's mildly frightening.

I think that checking the axles is part of the routine dealership inspection. Is it not?

Peace.

mine does this if coasting in a low gear and hitting the throttle... 99% sure it is the transmission... Never does it at any other time.

Check resuming cruise control after hitting cancel and coasting. Mine sounds like a transmission clunk. I think we are experiencing the same behavior. I'd be curious to know what was actually "re-torqued".

Use that function all the time... doesn't happen then either.

It does accelerate like it is possessed sometimes though. Puts my ass in the seat like I'm racing, ha!
