You can't get the full TSB. Post the TSB number and someone might be able to post it for you or you can send me a PM and I'll see if I have a copy.

The problem I'm hearing is a thunk & jerk noise or vibration when accelerating from stop, and when braking to a stop. TSB numbers that cover this are: 0196, 0332, 02109, 02192, 03048, 04237, and 030302. a copy of any one of these would be appreciated. My vehicle is a 2001 Ranger Edge super cab 4x4 with a 4.0 engine and auto tranny. Ronk

Not to high-jack the thread, but do you have the dreaded "timing chain rattle"?

That is something I will check, but I'm quite sure the problem is in the drive train.
At one time I thought maybe the torque converter had to rev higher before the drive locked in, but the experts shot me down on that. This idea came from playing with too many snowmobiles.

I have two links in the tech info thread at the top of this forum that should help, read the one on thump/clunk and the one about slip yoke lubrication.
