2005 Libby 3.7L V6 auto RLE transmission question.
Just had a look at a KJ for my daughter, looking at an 05 with a date stamp of 06/05
I did not get under to see if it was the four plug trans but I understand there is a good chance it is based on date code.
Anyhow, I may run away depending on what others say here about this issue.
When decelerating, brake on or off, it does a hard downshift at about 52kph (about 32mph) I think this is coming from 4 to 3 not sure but its a good clunk, can feel it in the seat... Easy to reproduce so I did it over and over trying to see if it was driveline or what. Always at the same speed, easiest way to test was going up a slight hill, at say 70kph as long as we got to high gear - let off the gas and let it decel to about 50kph.
does not do this when manually downshifting.
All upshifts are smooth. Has a slight bit of 'clunk' going from reverse to drive, slight enough to ignore... suspect a ujoint but planning another visit to check things if this is something that can be reasonably fixed.
Any ideas on this?
Thanx
