Question Clunk when going into 2nd-03 Supercrew

2003 Supercrew 5.4L , Automatic

Whenever I have to kick it down from 5th or 4th to second gear I hear and feel a clunk from the transmission when it goes into gear. It feels like its coming from under my feet.

How many miles on your truck?
Have you checked the U-joints?

34K and the U-joints are tight. It doesn't sound like its coming from under the center of the truck. Instead it sounds like its coming from the area under the gas pedal.

You should still have warranty on it so I would take it by your dealer and go for a drive with their transmissions tech and see what he thinks.

Update:
The service manager went with me to recreate the problem. He verified that he heard the same sound I did, then rode with the tech. Tech did a Tranny fluid change (My dime), then produced a bulletin describing exactly what I heard. "...a clunk or bang is heard when coasting to 20-5 mph and then shifting down to second gear while accelerating rapidly...".

I hope this doesn't bite me in the...........future.
