The clunk is pretty normal and mine has been clunking away for many years. Torque converter issues would lead to no motion but I don't know, it doesn't seem like your converter can just fail like that. I don't think I've seen any forums around that and if so, it's rare. Does your fluid smell burnt and look very dark?I have had it for 2 years. 225,000 miles. Only thing I can think of is sometimes it would make a clunk into drive but that's if I shifted to fast without stopping all the way. Literally no other signs I can think of. No leaks at all. Let me double check the fluid but the rattle is a little concerning. Would torque converter be a reason drive shaft isn't spinning? There is no resistance shifting but I did notice that the drive shaft would bump when shifting so I'm guessing it wouldn't be the shifter itself? Thoughts?
Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
If you put it in neutral does the vehicle roll? Seeing the driveshaft bump when you shift seems like a promising sign that something is happening.
So vehicle in drive, giving it a little throttle, you just hear some noise or nothing happens, it just revs up?
WTF are we missing here. If your range lever was stuck in Neutral I think there would be a dash warning light and buzzer so that shouldn't be a concern. I'm temporarily stumped.
