Lobitz68 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Mine does this. Feels and sounds like a transmission clunk in my DJ. Resuming the cruise control will cause it or sometimes reapplying the accelerator after a coast will cause it. Are we talking about the same thing here? Should I have my front axles checked? I have always assumed it was a tranny noise. Re-torqued implies that axles were still tight but a clunk in the axle says to me that something came loose. If so, I'd say it was a re-tightening or securing of something related to the axle. That's mildly frightening. I think that checking the axles is part of the routine dealership inspection. Is it not? Peace. mine does this if coasting in a low gear and hitting the throttle... 99% sure it is the transmission... Never does it at any other time. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know what was actually "re-torqued". Peace. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does accelerate like it is possessed sometimes though. Puts my ass in the seat like I'm racing, ha!

redtomatoman Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Use that function all the time... doesn't happen then either. Huh. OK. Happens with mine. I still think its tranny. Maybe different variations of the same behavior. Or maybe my axle is about to come off. . . ;-) Peace. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
