4H clunking

[Marlana]

Today I used my 4H for the first time. I noticed a clunking sound whenever I let off the gas. When I pressed the gas pedal the clunking would stop. Any ideas?

Did you happen to be going around a curve or turning?

Mine does this too. My 18 JL never did it so I thought it had something to do with me not giving my JT enough throttle being it's a manual transmission.

No going straight down the road

No going straight down the road

Was the road dry?

If so, thats the problem.

It is probably just backlash in the drivetrain gears. As you let off the gas, the power flow reverses in part of the drivetrain instead of going engine -> wheels it starts going wheels -> engine (stopped only by the clutch or torque converter), so the gears probably clank a little bit due to the play.
