My friend has V6 Camaro that is having some problems. I drove it today, and it seems like it "clunks" in gear. I'll try to explain more: On the freeway, cruising fine, then it will pause, the clunk and go again. It did this at 2300, 3200, 4000 RPM. It did it when I put the shifter in 3rd too. I tried nailing the gas, and some times it was fine, others it would clunk a few times, and sometimes while downshifting.

Does this sound like a tranny going out? or maybe something else?

TIA, Aaron.

Could be a trans issue but really sounds more like something else can you give more detail of how the trans works overall

Has your buddy been getting a po1870 code?

It has not thrown an SES light yet, should we scan it still? (I have to borrow A-tap)

performa - what do you mean by how the trans works overall?

yes how it works overall and scanning it is not a bad idea

Overall, it seems to work fine. Looks like it is locking up OK. Downshifts when needed, upshifts fine. Other then the jerking/banging sometimes, everything feels fine.

When it did the clunking... was it during a moderate to heavy throttle pressure event? There are many issues that come to mind.... u-joints, motor or trans mounts, rear axle, sunshell stripping out... need I go on?

Your friend needs a qualified technician to diagnose his conditiion before he suffers a significant failure.

I started thinking you guys might be right, and it's not the tranny. Thinking maybe TPS (it acts like it goes WOT then off kinda). But got a code today. P0102 Mass Air Flow Circuit Low Input

Thanks for your guys help.
