Clunk in transmission on deceleration only
97 DI w/ 129k miles:
It drives great and shifts smoothly and on time however when coming to a stop, and I let off the gas and begin to brake I feel and hear a clunk from the transmission that sounds like something big and heavy inside the tranny slid and shifted forward.
It does not sound or feel like the typical rover drive-line clunk we all normally have.
I am planning on changing the tranny filter if I have luck removing the cross member but I don't know what else I could do, or what it can be.

The trunk monkey was underneath the disco when I was testing the diff lock and I smelled jerky all of a sudden so... I think he's no longer with us.
I am 100% positive that I have NO idea if it's the Transfer Case or Transmission. BUT I am 100% sure it's one or the other. You know how sometimes you might feel or hear a clunk when you engage reverse in a rig that is old or neglected and it clunks. well it's like that except only happens in the situation i described. EDIT: it happens when I engage in reverse too... but I don't think it should be happening while slowing down. Could it be that the transmission is just down shifting into a lower gear and that shift is what I am hearing?
I will be working on it all weekend so maybe Sat evening I will post my first findings on it.

I have a similiar feeling on the tranny as well... when slowing down with the brakes, feels like someone is hitting the gas (I am not hitting the gas accidently).... And I have checked the suspension... all tight...
It feels like the tranny kicks down a gear but the engine just blips a bit and accelerates... but its not actually the engine acceleration...
Anyone experience this?

Josh, check the tire pressure, when I had a nail in one of my old tires It got low and my truck clunked like that until I aired it back up, then I new it was time for more air when it clunked again.
Also check the rear axle where it mounted to the truck, that bushing goes bad and can cause clunks, that clunk might be telescoping up to the tranny area.
