WILLY - There is some "clunking" that is common with the VX transmission when shifting, though I hesitate to call it "normal". Good quality synthetic ATF seems to keep mine in line, and I hear the "Interceptor" that Tone Monday sells on his website can also improve tranny performance.

As for my VX, I still haven't narrowed my problem down yet but I'll be giving it a good once (or twice!) over this weekend. I'm leaning towards replacing my shocks - I think they're about due. We'll see if that makes any difference.
