    First, check or have someone check the fluid lvl, making sure it looks right as well as being full. Then, I would try driving it with the "power" light opposite of how it was when the clunking happens to see if it still happens. Do you think the problem may be temperature related?

    Personally, I do not think the temp could have been the cause. The weather here has been mild, only around 65-70 degrees, and I was not driving long when this started happening....but what do I know! I will check the fluid levels this weekend when I do the rest of the stuff. And, just to let you know, I drove all the way home (13 miles) with no clunking and then later went and picked up my wife from work, and again, no problems...so go figure.

    Thx, Bart

    Ok, but I was talking about the engine or transmission temp.

    I would think if they light up during the pre-ignition start then the bulbs should be good.

    Could be the neutral safety/gear selector switch going bad, a common problem. If it does it again shift through the gears and see if it stops doing it. Switch is $120 to 150 depending on what kind of deal you can get at the dealer.

    Is this the same as the "mode selector" everyone is talking about?
