2001 ranger torque converter
Hi,
My 2001 ranger v6 has an automatic trans. the torque converter seems a little noisy when I stop or start in the first gear. One mechanic said this is quite normal for this model. Anyone have any other ideas? I only have 33,000 miles on the odometer and I just got the truck last month.

I worked on a ranger A/T once 2002 i believe... had a clunk type noise when starting from a complete stop and stopping completely... also you could almost feel like a "hopping" sensation at the same time. Ended up being the transmission mount.
Although I could see nothing physically wrong with the original mount, the replacement was much thicker and compressed quite a bit on installation... It was a 'last ditch effort' to resolve the problem and it fixed it!
Just something to keep in mind.

Toyota 4Runners are notorious for doing something that sounds exactly like this.
(1996-2002)
What it is, is a driveshaft yoke/u-joint is basically binding, or gets almoast locked and then jerks when you let off the break. Sometimes they also do it when coming to a stop. Almoast feels like someone rear ended you slightly when it does it.
I *think* that the solution is to lube the driveshaft u-joints if I remember correctly.
You might want to look into this, as the t-conv. doesnt really go "into gear" or "out of gear". Its job is to flow torque through it smoothly, to absorb the impact the tranny makes while shifting, and to allow the engine to idle/spin while the tranny does not.
Look into the driveshaft yokes as a possibility.

Has anybody experienced the cessation of this by cranking the torsion bars to level the truck? It seems to make sense that flattening the stance of the truck would fix that and maybe the ball joint problems...
