2002 GCL Clunks when put into reverse

[mikeellis]

Hello,
I have a 2002 Jeep GCL. When I put the jeep in reverse I hear a clunk. I had brought the jeep to the dealer to have it checked because I thought it was the stabilizer bar bushings, and they only lubed the brushings and told me there wasn't anything wrong. But to me this is not normal. I even let the engine idle a little, before i shift it into reverse so that it would be in rush from the starting rpms. Did anyone ever experience this type of issue. If so what could it be?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

check your tranny fluid level...

check your u-joints for slop. also check the diff too.

try shifting into reverse and take your foot off the brake before it is fully engaged, see if it lessens the clunk. this should tell you whether it is the trans or the driveshaft/gears.
