Exclamation Is this a problem, if so need help!!!!!!

I have had the truck for about 3 months now.
Everytime I shift from 3rd to 4th gear, there is this clunk sound from underneath. I can feel the clunk in my shifter when this happens. My truck is a 4.2L, and I shift from 3rd to 4th at about 32-35mph each time. Sometimes the clunk isn't there, but most the time I hear and feel it. Is this a problem or is this a common thing with the 5-speed?

Thanks,

Fake

fakefvc, I think you should see your dealer!!
I have a 1997 4.2L c/w 5-speed manual and it shifts great. I'm at 32,000 miles (aprox.) and no noises what so ever from my trans.

Good luck

ahhhhh damn it. That is the reason I sold my 97 Mustang, because of problems, so I bought the truck. Now my brand new 3 month old truck is screwed now. Geeez, this is enough to piss a guy totaly off and buy a chevy...

Is it the same dealer you got your mustang at? Try a new dealer. You might have a "lemon" dealer.

I would advise you to take it back also if you have not done so already. I am on my 4th 5 speed in 17,00 miles on my 1999 F150. I have lost about a month and a half with the truck being in the shop having transmissions replaced. Mine starts out by hard to put into 1st, then grinds from 2nd to 3rd from time to time. Check out my website.

GOOD LUCK.
