I’m feeling some possible slop in the driveline that I’m trying to diagnose - wondering whether this is a common issue and where I should look:
From a full stop (like at a red light) and already in D, I occasionally feel a soft clunk when accelerating. There is also a light vibration at highway speed that seems to vary with how much gas pedal I give it.
Based on this thread, my gut tells me it’s either a U joint or something with the trans. I’m unaware if/when the trans fluid was flushed, but the fill level and color/odor are good. 142K miles.
Where do I troubleshoot first to try to get ahead of a possible future problem? Does this sound like a known issue?
