Thump in transmission? Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Transmission Problems Rex_Dart New User Jul 19, 2010, 11:17 AM Post #1 of 4 (3985 views) Thump in transmission? Sign In Vehicle in question: 2005 Ford Escape XLT No Boundaries V6, Auto Trans, 4x2 w/ auto-4x4 Approx. 108,000 miles Recently, if I let off of the accelerator while driving, allow the vehicle to coast for a few seconds, then press down on the accelerator, I feel and hear a thump as the transmission re-engages. It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens enough to worry me. It only happens when going from coasting to pressing down on the accelerator. It doesn’t happen when the cruise control is on. If I coast, then apply the brakes, and then step on the accelerator, it doesn’t happen. It also doesn’t happen when accelerating from a dead stop. Could this be a transmission problem, or a broken motor / trans mount? I want to get an opinion or 2 before I take it to a mechanic. Thanks!

Is it a hard bang or are you going more by engine sound? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

For instance....current speed limit 45, approaching 35 mile limit....coast, then step on gas...feel and hear a thump when drive train re-engages from coast. It's not coming from the engine. And it's felt more than heard. It's really hard to describe....maybe like a quick studder, then the transmission engages.

Sign In I was thinking it might be the torque converter locking up for overdrive but the speed is too low for that. Check all your fluid levels and if it's full, then it may be time to have it inspected by a transmission specialist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
