And it doesn't clunk on the 2-1 downshift? How strange! I guess you could try loosening the bowden cable a little, which might ease the clunk, but would also make the transmission shift sooner. In any case, it seems that the transmission is under the impression that you are pressing the accelerator when you aren't. Maybe this is an internal problem? Unfortunately, my understanding of the inner workings of the transmission are vague, at best. I've come to know the vacuum controls rather well, though .
