Sometimes it's a big mother of a clunk, sometimes nothing. 2) Clunks when slowing down to a stop sign (seems to be when the transmission downshifts, but I don't think it's the transmission) 3) Lotsa driveline noise, loudest between 45-55mph. Different noise accelerating vs. decelerating. Noise disapears if 'coasting'(in gear - not accelerating or decelerating) I'm suspecting the TC, probably the chain. Any way to check the chain tension easily? Can I check it from the TC fill plug? What's too tight/too loose? Thanks!
