i have a 99 dodge ram 1500 with about 99k on it.. when i shift in to reverse it makes a loud clunk. this has happened since day one but i noticed the other day it seems to go in to reverse really hard and the clunk got louder.:hammerhead: its almost like you have to force it in, kinda like when you park on a big hill. got any ideas whats up?:dizzy: i know dodge trannys are not the best, lol thanks for everything

i would take it in and have someone look at it before it gets worse, tranny's are somethin you wanna fix not just throw a band aid on good luck
Might just be a bad u-joint.

Bad motor mount can do that its not the trans that you hear its the engine rotating until it hits metal on metal

Buy a Ford?? Why would he want to buy junk???? My 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 has 230,000 miles. I haven't had ANY problems with it.:cool2:

My 97 Ram 1500 used to do the same thing parking on hills but then I realized if I put the E-brake on before putting it in park it stopped.
