Rear end acting weird...

Like I'm driving and I'm at like 50 we'll say and then like go down to like 49 or something and the gears seem to like slip I'm kind of thinking that it's trying to decide what gear to go in.. What opinions do ya'll have?

Im assuming what you are talking about feels like "slip-clunk"?

Mine has done it too. It happens under very light throttle. I believe the electronic throttle is releasing completely causing the converter clutch to unlock and then relock. This causes the drivetrain to "rubberband" and you get a clunk from the slip yoke.

Just my opinion, that and a buck will buy you a cup of coffee.

Mine only does that "Slip clunk" thing at low speeds and not very often. I am ignoring it because when the lease is up, I'm getting a Ranger..
