Strange "clunking" noise
Hi everyone, Im new, so spare me the flaming and just help if you would be so kind.
Anyway, I have a automatic 97 land rover discovery with 140k miles. The problem is a clunking noise that I have just started to notice. The clunk comes when I go heavy on the throttle, it down shifts for power, then when I let off the gas abruptly it shifts up and it clunks. I dont know if thats exactly what the shifting does in a auto since I am use to manuals.
So my question would be is that the "torque converter" (what one of my friends said)? Or is it something else? More importantly what can i do to fix it. Im fairly mechanically inclined but it is a european car so Im hesitant.
P.S. If I ease the throttle out slowly it does not make the clunking noise.
