Hi All,
I just bought a used 2002 Ranger 4x4 with an automatic transmission and I'm liking it. Especially after years of driving just a regular sedan. The truck is so much nicer riding higher above the road and the utility of a truck bed is much better than a trunk for me.
Anyway, I'm wondering if it is normal to feel a few slight clunks when gently accelerating from a standstill. It doesn't happen if I accelerate hard nor do I notice anything if I'm already moving. It happens only on gentle acceleration from standstill.
I should also note that I don't actually hear anything, it is strictly feel.
There is usually 2 to 4 clunks and it feels as if different parts of the drive train are engaging one after another.
I had an F150 about 20 years ago and I remember the same clunking feel at times but I don't remember if it happened all the time.
