Loud clunk when shifting from P to R on A/T 4speed

Here the video. Know you not being here makes it hard but that is the best I can do for you and me trying to be mechanically correct in my descriptions and/or findings.

Right off the start you hear the clunk whenever my wife selects R. Me being down there, sounded a lot like in the shaft?

Before doing video I did move both u-joints as hard as I could and did not notice an abnormal or strange play in both. Can try again but did not seem busted or damaged.

what I do use use my stethoscope, and listen to the main box. if the noise is not there, then move to the transfer case, and if not there, the rear axle and if not there, its bad u-joints. ever seen them with dry bearings (inside) ????
More like what is marked red in the above line.

3: bad transmission mounts? or just loose? will make noise if loose or bad.
I have indeed one messed tranny mount which I got but he for some time limiting reason could not install. I have to do it. Maybe this is contributing?


your mech lacks these tools?
Don't know. Will have to ask him.
