if all else is normal i would guess at a broken trans mount? or is it just a harsh garage shift? is it only when the car is cold?

no programming done to up the line pressure at the pc solenoid right? give some more info.

Could be u-joints. Another possibility is LCA bushings.

Does it make the clunking noise only when you move the gearshift into Park or Reverse? Or does it make the noise after the tranny shifts into each gear (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc)? If it's the latter I would suspect the tranny mount. Mine deteriorated years ago and would make a loud noise every time the tranny shifted to a new gear.

The initial post indicated you had the problem when the tranny was dropped into drive or reverse. Now you are indicating: "it dose not happen through all the gears". Are you now indicating that you have a clunk under some conditions when the tranny is operating under load, not just when you drop it in gear?

In any case, this appears to be a drivetrain issue, so I'll move this to the "Drivetrain" forum.

Did you check Trans mount, u-joints, etc.. already????? To help narrow down... If its none of those, then it probably a worn trans and need to be rebuilt...JMO
