Also, any info on adjusting a band? I've actually never played with a transmission, so I don't know f-all about what's going on in there, aside from gears meshing up to make it go forward/back...
I'm tending to agree with Bad Sport on the clunk; it seems the clunk feels like it's in the driveshaft or further back, as well as a clunk feeling like it's in the axle when she upshifts after acceleration (accelerate, pull foot off pedal, upshift, -clunk!-)... Any idea on how to fix or at least alleviate this problem so that it doesn't feel like my engine is going to twist right outta the bay the next time R grabs? :S
As for the acceleration: She seems to not want to drop gears properly when I slam the gas down during a cruise. It is acting like my Dakota was a billion years ago, and the shop back then told me I needed a new kick-down bar... Where exactly is this part, and is it easy to replace/temp-repair-for-diagnostic-purposes?
Anyone around El Paso want to donate a good (slightly shorter) rear end to a broke Private in need? :P
