Loud clonk while shifting gears

[Action]

Yeah,
That sounds like a good idea to start with. I´ll have to wait for better weather before getting it out in order to obtain working temperature.
I know my oil level int the transmission is okay, but I´ve never checked the level in the tranny "hot". Only cold when I changed the tranny oil.
Cheers,
Tom

uh...... transmission fluid is not supposed to be checked cold. You can but it wont be accurate.

Yes, I know i´ll have to check transmission oil level when it´s hot, and truck on a level surface and motor running and change the shifter between R-N-D-1-2-3 before I pull the dipstick.
What I didn´t know was that I should check the tranny level while hot....

Aren't tranny and transmission the same thing?
Or, are you calling your transfer case a tranny?
You can check transfer case cold.

I thought that the transmission is the automatic gearbox, and the tranny is the transfer case....
English is not my primary language and I thank you for your clarification! I´ll check the "tranny" cold and the gearbox varm!
Have a nice weekend!
