Transmission "clunk" occurred with shifting from reverse to drive. Dealer diagnosed valve body and recommended transmission rebuild. Aamco diagnosed same issue resulting from metal shavings being released from torque converter into transmission. Entire transmission including torque coverter needed to be replaced at 74,000 miles.
