Low-speed "clunk" 1-2 shift, A-904

Ahhh, I see... the "lift-throttle upshift". You're completely off the throttle when it happens. My /6 904 did that and it lasted forever. I ended up pulling the motor & trans before it ever broke. I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can do something about it when the transmission dies. If you find it a little embarrasing then just drop the car in 1st gear in parking lots.

Yeah, that's exactly what happens. I did usually keep it in first just so it wouldn't clunk and there was no use in having it upshift anyway.
