Hi. I drive a 2004 venture van and it has recently started making a clunking sound from the front end, on occasion, when I start up from a dead stop at a traffic light for example. It feels like the transmission is slipping and then clunkling into gear, even though it is already in gear as I am waiting for the traffic light to change. A friend of mine with a similar chevy problem was told by a transmission repair shop that the problem was not the transmission but was likely due to the anti-slip mechanism of the front wheels. They may be temporarily locking up and unlocking on take-off causing the clunking noise. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

 

heyy! welcome to the forum. hmm idk what it could be. my first guess would have been the transmission too =/
