  • slushbox clunk

    '06 3500 GT coupe auto: I noticed that if i put the car into nutral(going faster than about 5 mph) to roll into a parking spot, the transmission makes a clunk sound when i get down to about 1-2 mph. It doesn't seem to be a problem, but i wondered if there were any techs that could shed some light on what it is doing. my only guess is that when you pop it to nutral it only unlocks the TC, then at 2-3 mph it pops the shift bands loose. is this a... safety feature?

    Funny... I do the same thing once and a while (dunno why honestly) but I just heard that noise about 2 days ago for the first time..

      yeah i drove stick for so long that i like the control of braking to a stop with it in nutral. i actually checked everything the first time i heard it; i didn't think it sounded right. and it doesn't seem to do it if you're rolling slower than about 5mph.

        Is it possibly a hard late downshift?

          It doesnt sound as tho its anything bad... but its def a sound, almost like the car wont shift into nuetral untill it gets to 5mph, maybe thats what it is?!

            well since i'm not the only one who has noticed it, and nothing is smoking, shaking, or smelling bad... i'll chalk it up to 'normal operation'

              why would you put it in neutral to go into a parking spot? It's an auto. If I have mine in tapshift mode, when I'm in 2nd, and I'm slowing down to a stop, I get a clunking feeling when it goes into 1st.
