Is it clunking when changing up gears (ie 2nd to 3rd) or when you need the car to kickdown (4th to 3rd or 2nd). A full trans service may do the trick but if your trans is starting to slip don't get one as the gunk in your trans would be keeping it driving better, when you clean out a slipping trans it can make it even worse as my old Toyota 2.8 litre Str8 six found out.

ive spoken to my mate at MCE (Mindarie Custom Exhuasts) and he's gonna fit some corvette servo's into the gearbox, will give a much smoother and much quicker gear change, gets rid of the lag (high rev) between gears which you experience in an auto...cant wait
