Grind and then accelerate clunk in rear

[ukobach]

OK, Im no mechanic but my opinion if a trans is going bad your going to have problems getting in the gear, getting it to pull in any gear, or grinding tryn to get it into a gear.

This is a 97 2d 5 speed Auto 4x4. Ford Explorer
When I put it in first and start there is no issue its perfect.
Shifting gears perfect.

When I let off the gas and it slows down without takeing it out of gear or mashing the clutch it starts makeing a grinding noise as if someone tryn to put one in gear without useing a clutch.
I mash the gas it makes a clunk in the rear and then just goes as if theres nothing wrong till I let of the gas again.
I can shift down but when I do it makes a grinding noise as if im not useing the clutch again and when I accelerate it stops.


People down here are so insistant on selling me a 1200 doller transmission that I cant afford at this time instead of actually looking at the problem.

Any information would be helpfull as before the clutch works fine and there are no issues untill i decellerate or accelerate after while still moveing.

Transfer case shift rail bore issue. That's where I'd put my money. It's not going to be much cheaper than a trans rebuild to have it rebuilt properly, but at least it'll fix the problem.

Searc for 'grind on decel' or 'grind while coasting' or 'shift rail bore' or 'omega machine' and you'll find plenty of reading material.
