    Hello all,

    In my '86 240, as I slow down near to a stop (about 5 mph), I'm starting
    to hear (and feel) the sort of clunk that you normally experience when
    shifting between P-N-D. I assume the auto transmission is downshifting,
    but is the clunk a bad omen? It's quite intermittent, and I don't know if
    it's normal because I recently acquired the car. Just wondering? Thanks to
    anyone who volunteers a guess.

    I.S.

    Two likely culprits: dirty, gummy trans fluid, and/or a sticking
    kickdown
    cable. There are, of course, other possibilities.
