95 explorer clunky 2-1 downshift

My friend's 95 explorer AT shifts pretty rough and noisy up the gears and downshifting is fine until 2-1. The downshift is accompanied by a pretty violent and loud clunk in the front end. Driving down bumpy roads is pretty loud and clunky too. Any help is appreciated.

replace your radius arm bushings and the noise will be gone

95's don't have RABs, only 91 to 94s.

Had the same problem on my own about a half year back, and after about 3 months i found out that the entire transmisson would need replacing.

also i still have a small, quiet clunk sometimes when down shifting from 2 to 1

might want to have someone check it out like a good freind or even if the problem presists an auto shop
