Looking at 2006 LE have some questions.

Overall the vehicle seems good.

The vehicle makes a bit of a clunk when going from Park to reverse but not every time. Seemed more noticeable when cold. Also in 4lo, when accelerating from standstill, seems like it doesn't really kick in until moving about 5 miles per hour and then grabs. Something wrong with the transfer case?

Going from drive to neutral rpms jump about 500 rpm and then settle down.

Does this seem normal? Seemed not quite right to me. Other than that seems good.

What do you think?

Thanks.

The cluck you notice when shifting from drive to reverse seems normal as my 2012 does the same thing and has since I purchased it at around 7,500 miles. Always use the parking brake on any incline or you will most likely get a Big Bang going from park to drive (Normal for an R51)

The shifting in 4low will be more noticeable this is common and the RPM jump I don't think it's anything to worry about.
