1998 ford 2 wheel drive transmission making clunking noise while shifting.
I have a 1998 Explorer Sport, 2 wheel drive with auto transmission.
The problem is a clunking noise that is heard after the trans shifts to second gear. Seems that the transmission shifts smooth into 2nd but a couple of seconds or so after it shifts it makes a klunking noise. Looking at the tach the engine s rpm stays the same. The engine is a 4.0 SOHV. Als makes the noise when down shifting to 1st. gear. The transmission shifts the other gears ok. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Everett |

1998 ford 2 wheel drive transmission making clunking noise while shifting. Solved
After taking the truck to AAMCO transmissions ( very nice
owner/operator) they tested the truck and said that there was nothing wrong with the transmission that the problem was the rear end and that they did not do rear ends. They said that I had a bad catalytic converter and a bad MAF. I knew about the catalytic converter but the MAF was new to me. I had checked the air filter a couple of weeks ago and apparently not plugged the connector back into the MAF. After reconnecting the MAF the clunking went away. Apparently a bad MAF can cause erratic shifting. Now to replace the cat. Any ideas on a good source for the part.
