Looking for tsb #35 01-07-30-042A (DEC 02). This references a problem with clunking at 2-3 upshift or 3-2 downshift. Anyone have this and care to share it. Dealer service garage told me they could not replicate the problem with my vehicle. So I must be be hearing things?. Maybe if they test drove it for more than .5 miles they would have heard and felt it. Turns out there's a specific tsb on it.
Thanks Jersey Jim

Some vehicles may exhibit a clunk noise that can be heard on a 2-3 upshift or a 3-2 downshift.
During a 2-3 upshift, the 2-4 band is released and the 3-4 clutch is applied. The timing of this shift can cause a momentary torque reversal of the output shaft that results in a clunk noise. This same torque reversal can also occur on a 3-2 downshift when the 3-4 clutch is released and the
2-4 band applied. This condition may be worse on a 4-wheel drive vehicle due to the additional tolerances in the transfer case.This is a normal condition. No repairs should be attempted.
Super, that info is a great help to me. Thanks for sharing it. Not too happy that there's no remedy for it though. Makes me think I'm driving my clunker 89 chevy pickup rather than a new tahoe with only
18k on it. I've driven chevy trucks, tahoes and suburbans for over 30 years and I don't recall any new ones making such a sound. Sometimes you hear after 100k. But what can you do. Just put up with the annoyance I guess.thanks again.
