While driving vehicle makes a clanking noise. The vehicle takes up to 2-5 seconds upon changing gears to reverse. Going up hill it will down shift very hard as if the floor board is being knocked out. The differential, and rear end were replaced.

problem #1

Oct 011999

Explorer

  • miles
While turning right / left the vehicle vibrates in the rear of the vehicle. Dealer says it's normal. Also, while test driving vehicle dealer claimed it acted like the clutches in the position unit were grabbing. So they added a friction modifier to rear differential and transfer case. Problem somewhat diminished, but not entirely solved.
