1986 Dodge Ram Van LE 318 factory propane in decent shape
So my van is one of those that clunks into drive already a bit.
But now it has been clunking when shifting from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3. It really clunks. One big clunk when it shifts. It happens at normal level of revs (for accelerating casually).
If I keep the revs very low (like lower than I would normally drive it, so that its a bit slower than traffic wants to go), it eases into gear and doesn't clunk. No noticeable issue.
Any ideas what this could be?
Maybe I shouldn't have said "Tranny" in the title of this post. I'm not a mechanic and can't be sure its the transmission.
Thanks for any tips or pointers.
