Your problem will be even more expensive if when you get that new unit in, it still klunks on stopping.

There is virtually no amount of backlash that will be felt if the transmission is properly downshifting. If your main problem is as the car goes to first gear at almost no speed then I think the problem is in the vacuum control of your tranny.
