Clunking noise when decelerating
Hello guys! I have a grand Cherokee 94 Laredo v8 5.2 and I've been hearing and feeling this heavy and clunking noise while decelerating at about 20mph or when I come to a complete stop. Just had my tranny rebuilt and thought that was the problem, so I ended up taking it back to the transmission shop and they said it wasn't the transmission. Help! Any ideas ? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

If not the transmission, it's likely the u-joints or pinion. But if it wasn't doing this before they "fixed" your trans, and now it is...

I can of trust the guy at the transmission shop since he gave me his word of taking back if the trans failed. So I'm gonna start by replacing the u joints hoping this fixes the problem. Do you know any good Jeep shop located in California in Los Angeles county?

But just "popping up" after having the trans serviced? I'd suspect the trans more than some unrelated part failing at just that moment. Just get it diagnosed by another shop(don't know any near you, I'm in Texas), they'll tell you if it's the ujoints, trans, or something else. Don't just throw blind repairs at it hoping it'll fix it, that's money down the toilet.
Good luck!

X2 regarding transmission and cross-member mounts. A flashlight and a shorty pry-bar will help you find it. Start at the trans tail shaft mount, checking upper and lower bolts for tightness/slop, as well as the rubber pad in-between (look for possible split). Repeat for engine mounts. Other than that, check exhaust pipe supports and proximity of exhaust pipes to engine, trans and main prop shaft. There's a pipe hanger rod/bracket on the trans cross-member that is often overlooked or broken. Any one or some of the above may be the cause...
