    4eat downshift clunk ?

    hey guys soobie noob here, I have a 99 legacy L with a 4eat. Every time I go up a grade and my transmission downshifts I get a massive clunk that shutters the whole car. The shifts are all smooth as glass other than that, I have ran Seafoam through it and no help !!! any idea what this could be ?

    Ok so I looked at the site and found they do not have those parts for my car BUMMER however now at least I am on the right track, thanks for the tip . Driving home this morning from work I paid more attention to the clunk and it is in the rear end. I guess I will try to find those parts from another source.
    ps Our cars could be twins ! lovin the color doesn't show dirt just sort of dulls

    Well it looks like I have posted this in the wrong group, thanks to the help I have gotten diagnosing the problem it looks like this post should have been in the Chassis & Suspension forum. That's why I came here, I have a saying "it's not important to know the answer it's important to know where to find the answer" You all have proven yourselves to be a great source to find the answer. I look forward to sharing my knowledge here, when I get some.
