I changed the transmission fluid!

Curious if you have viewed the clunk thread ? Check it out and see if it is a possibility.

I’ve seen the threads about the clunk sound, but this isn’t a clunk sound it’s a ticking type sound or a light sizzling sound. I believe the clunking sounds that people are talking about are coming from the axle and it’s just one clunk or pop. This is a continuous sizzling type ticking sound. I shared it with an iCloud link, but not sure if it can be viewed. I clicked on it and I can hear it in the video. There’s one tapping sound in the video, but that was me fumbling the camera around.

Great, another mechanical issue. If mine catches this virus I am going to ship this thing for a fair price and cut my losses.
The clunk sounds like a 16 oz bud light banging onto a piece of metal. Some report it is when they accelerate/decelerate. Mine was rotational in the same rhythm as tire speed.

Mine is going to the dealership tomorrow. Hopefully get it back in less than a month.

Let us know how it goes.

Yes, please let us know what they find

I looked all over and never seen a full port anywhere up top. The port where I filled has a riser up into the tranny and is used to check the level. It’s not on the very bottom but it close and there’s a riser pipe inside the tranny to set the level at around 140f.

It is under the center section of the back seat
I changed my transmission fluid
I invented new words during the process
Now that it is done I would not hesitate to do it again
A true learning curve

Let us know how it goes

I talked to the dealer today. He's saying that I didn't get enough oil in the transmission and that was the reason for the noise. Says it needs a full 5 quarts I guess. I had about 4.5-4.75 quarts in it. I haven't gotten the machine back because they're waiting on a shock to replace a leaky one on the left rear.

That is good to hear. Thank you for letting us know.
Door locks, roof leaks, and heat leaking into the cab are a PIA but transmission and engine issues would make me start looking for a different brand.
So far I only know of two engine failures and no trans failures. We can work through the little stuff.

Hopefully that’s all it was for ya! Definitely let us know when you get it back, if there’s any noise.
