Clunk on downshifting

[Crmaverick]

Does anyone notice a slight clunk on down shifts when coming to a stop?

I notice a clunk when the transmission down shifts sometimes, not all the time though, either 4th to 3rd gear or 3rd to 2nd gear. I don’t have any clunk shifting from park to drive or reverse, that’s always nice and smooth.

It’s basically like how it sounds in a stick shift when you downshift without rpm matching or letting the clutch out to fast and you get that clunk from driveline slack/gear lash

Are you running stock, does it have larger tires, is it lifted?
Is it subject to the driveshaft recall, and has that been done?

I have not noticed that issue. I'm running full stock.

Yes that is the exact thing I have also along with the clunk from park to reverse. I've taken it to one dealership with no fix I will take it to second dealership in the near future. I would take it to the dealership and hopefully yours will be easy to diagnose.

Fluid levels correct?

stock not lifted. New build jeep that was built this month so I’m assuming no recall.

I’ll have to check

My guess is that it’s the tranny programming. It only does it in certain conditions, usually if you’re coming to a slow stop. You can replicate this same sound in a manual transmission, depending on how you downshift. Does anyone else notice this?

 

[Crmaverick]

Yes.

Is yours a max tow package or a rubicon?

My max tow did this win completely stock for the first couple thousand miles and it’s slowly going away now that I’m at around 17,000 miles

cool yeah part of me was thinking this might be related to the max tow package and normal.

also the fact that it doesn’t always do it, only sometimes depending on deceleration. Seems to mostly do it if you slowly come to a stop when you’re lite on the brakes

That makes me feel better. I'm at 5000 right now. I have the max tow also

While I wouldn't call it a clunk, I notice the transmission will down shift much harder when decelerating quicker than usual. There were a few times when I had to quickly slow and each time it did the same thing.

Yup, I've noticed it. I also have max tow.

Rubicon.
