Question 1-2 shift causes clunk

My 1-2 shift has always been rather crisp, but lately it's been making a sort of clunking noise. Is this a transmission mount, or could there be something else? The shift seems slightly less smooth than before, so I don't know what the deal is. I haven't messed with the resistor. I've searched through other posts but haven't found anything relative.

me too

My car appears to be doing something similar to that too. It was fine for a while, but it's been doing it a lot lately. Mostly when the engine is warmed up.

When accelerating from a stop (or very low mph), it typically shifts from 1st to 2nd around 2k rpm. When it shifts, there is kind of a "clunk, clunk", and then 2nd fully engages. I can both hear and feel the "clunking." However, if I let off the gas a little right before it shifts, then it doesn't appear to happen. Or, if I hard-accelerate, then the shifting is much firmer (and around 3.5k rpm), and it doesn't appear to happen here either.

I have no idea why it's happening, and also have little knowledge of the symptoms of tranny problems. One of my car-modding friends said that I may have a vacuum-line problem, and the troublesome shifting may be a result of it.

Any ideas for gcook or myself?

Mine used to do that too, shop said its the tranny mount. Had it replaced, everything has been fine since then.
I didn't notice anything in the way it was shifting though. But i'd first check the tranny mount. Not very expensive to fix.

Could be your resistor too, that is how mine started.
