03 Expedition Trans O-D Problem

When shifting into OD, or downshifting from OD, there's a loud clunk as if I hit a pothole. A trans repair shop told me it was the knock sensor - WRONG!

Any suggestion as to what the problem could be?

Are you referring to the 3-4 upshift and the 4-3 downshift?

Other than the audible symptom, any other symptoms, either at this shift point or some other?

Yes, 3-4 and 4-3. Beside the audible, this can also be felt.

First inspect the tranny and transfer case mounts to make sure they are not broken. If the mounts are okay, remove the driveshaft and give the slip yoke a good greasing.
