Clunk sound between 2-3 shift ? yolk? tranny?

ArmoryG · Feb 19, 2011

Hey guys,

I recently bought my truck from quirk chevy in Braintree MA

It is a 2004 1500 with 39,000 .. recently after purchase I noticed a sound when shifting from second into third gear.
Its a very subtle clunk sound, not multiple clunks just one.. and only when shifting between 2-3.

I want to know if anyone has had similar issues with their trucks, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also I talked to a friend who works in the chevy service department he said it could be the front yolk? and that there was a service call put out for this noise a while back. my vin number came up as not replaced with the redesigned front yolk. I hope I can find some answers here.

thanks a bunch

Nick

Hi Nick, Not sure that I'll be of much help, but I have a 2003 Silverado 1500 that had 49K on it when I bought it in 2005, and its done the same thing since day one. The truck now has 89K on it and I've just lived with it. I think I remember reading somewhere that it is play in the rearend gears.

Replace the u joint. Its cheap and easy. Worth a shot.

Is this common among this year or model??

I was told this is a common issue. I had the dealership lube my yoke/driveshaft area. You can barely hear it now...i just tune it out

How bad is this for the truck? I'd like to get it replaced correctly. My dealer told me they would do the same but I decided to research.

Hi my truck makes the exact same clunk from second to third as well... It's been doing this for nearly 100k or at least since I bought the truck

The truck now has over 150,000 miles on it, does this cause any damage to the drive line?

What was the outcome of your issue? I am having the same thing on my 2007 Sierra. I would love to know if it is a serious issue and what needs to be done to fix it
