Ive tryed this thread before and didnt get much so ill try again. My 92 ranger is 2wd to start. When the truck is in park and at an iddle i get some shaking. not to much butt a little. when shifting into reverse from park there is a short pause and then it makes a clunk noise before switching into reverse. Ive heard a couple suggestions as to what this may be but im hoping someone on here can clear this up for me.
Ive been told.
-U joints
-Drivetrain fluid
-motor mounts

It's a A4LD. They do that. Ignore it.
Both of my rangers clunked into reverse and clunked a little into first, and always clunk when in OD because of the toque converter lock up.
