re: Clunk when stopping and starting. Transmission?
same thing has happened to me but I thought it was just a rough gearshift ...it does not hapen all the time mostly during sudden starts. i'll look into this.

Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
I have a catapult. Give me all the money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head

I had that very same problem with my 76 Bronco.
The combination of high mileage and lack of lubrication led to spending a chunk of
cash to have the slip-yoke replaced and that fixed my problem...

Check your radius arm bushings for wear.

When you come from road speeds to a stop at a light etc. if after you have come to a complete stop you momentarily let off the brake enough for the truck to move forward a bit it clunks like it never shifted all the way down to first when stopping.
When you start from a stop it clunks also and if you baby it you can keep it from doing so all together. You can also baby it for up to midway into 1st gear and if you accelerate harder at that point still feel the clunk.
All motor and transmission mounts are good, and all three u-joints and carrier bearing have been replaced and it did it before and after.
Personally I think it does some odd delayed downshift, but I have never owned a C6 in this vintage truck to have experianced this problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, OT
