CLunking Noise when Braking! Help!

[MonaLeMoo]

Okay guys, I'm new here..help me out please

I have a 1995 Explorer Sport. When I first purchased it, I noticed the back was clunking whenever I braked. I thought nothing of it..as it was a new car to me, and I wasn't familiar with the noises it made.

6 months after I bought it..I needed a new tranny. They rebuilt it, and 2600$ later My tranny was rebuilt..and the clunking stopped.

Now I am 10 000 km's later, and that clunking is back when I brake. It sounds like it's in the rear of the car..and its when I am approaching a full stop. Also my shifts are quite stiff, but I was told that was due to a shift kit that they installed for me when I had the tranny work done.

My good friend told me it sounds like my transmission mount/s...does this sound right? Or should I just take it back to the transmission shop..and get them to look as the Tranny is under warantee for another 10 000 km's.

Any help would be great!!!

Can't hurt to take it back to the tranny shop if it's still under warranty.

Sounds like the slip yoke or a Ujoint to me.

Sounds expensive!! Any idea how much that all costs???

The slip yoke and u-joints are not a part of the transmission--they are parts on the driveshaft. If they are the problem, and not the transmission, then you're really in luck. With the Slip yoke or u-joints, the parts themselves are <$50. Contrast that with a transmission repair which can be very costly. If your trans is under warranty have them chk it out.

Okay...so its probably not the transmission then???? I do still have a warranty..so I will get it checked out. Thank You!!!
