stan1942 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Any body experience this? When you shift into reverse there is a loud clunk(bang) going into reverse? Or another transmission issue. Sometimes starting out from a stop it will not shift up into a higher gear. To fix the problem just turn the key off then back on, then it shifts normal.

enigma-2 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Been widely discused here before. The usual problem on this condition is to change the TSS and OSS transmission sensors. Also, consider changing fluid on the severe schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan1942 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Witch problem will changing the sensors solve clunking in reverse, or not shifting into higher gear after stop? Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim5506 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Both, if the turbine speed or output sensor fails, the computer does not know how fast things are spinning on either end, it also fixes the clunk. Get them replaced before they totally fail and leave you beside the road out in the middle of nowhere. $700-900 if done by a mechanic.

chefduane Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I had that issue on my Explorer. Turned out to be U-joints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) If you have AWD, then yes the driveshaft/RDU can come into play for the clunk into reverse. Although you are more likely to need a new Transmission Range Sensor. I would check the resistance on the sensor connection to see if this might be the case. If it is, the work is almost the same as to replace a TSS/OSS sensor, so you can get the whole shebang done in one shot. Advisable to check the valve body and solenoid body assembly while you have them out as well. If it clunks going into other gears also, definitely check the trans mount/dogbone, visible underneath the vehicle from behind the front wheels. These mounts do tend to go south as the miles pile on.
