The Amigo was checked out and it was discovered that the problem is electrical and not with the transmission. Apparently, the engine was steam cleaned by the dealer preparing it for re-sale. Not a good thing with todays computerized engine components.
Don?t quote me on this........ but the mechanics thouroughly checked engine and transmission discovering moisture inside the transmission cellenoid and wiring...... (or inside components where it shouldn?t be moist). The moisture was effecting the computer causing shift confusion.
They dried these areas and so far (after two full days of driving) I have not experienced a single "clunk".
