850 auto transmission problem

May 09, 2006 5 Replies

Hi akk, wonder if anyone can help with an auto transmission problem on a '94



850, with 140k miles on it.

Smooth changes around town, never a problem. Get up to speed, 50-60ish, all nice and smooth.



When I slow down, about half the time I get a "clunk" that you can feel through the car as I slow down through 20mph, and another as the car comes to a halt.



If the "clunks" have happened, it also does the same thing when moving off.



Any thoughts? Nick


ATF ever been changed? Start there, a good flush and replacement. Box could be approaching toast though :(

Tim..

ATF OK, box smooth as anything most the time. It feels much more like a control issue than a box issue. Maybe the box has had it :-(

I wonder if you have checked the engine mounting on the top of the motor that stops the engine rotating on its axis (i.e. front and backwards). I believe these fail regularly. It may be the cause of your noise.

Regards Barry

I've not checked the engine mounts, but will now. I'll report back after I've had a look.

Cheers, WM

I've checked, nothing looks wrong there. Must be somewhere else :-(
