Intermittent hesitation in reverse
So this has only happened three times in the 9 months I’ve owned this truck. Twice on cold mornings and I don’t remember conditions of the third.
I usually start the truck in the morning to warm up. The two times I’ve noticed the temp, I didn’t have time to let it warm up so I jumped in, started it, put it in reverse... nothing happened immediately. The first time, I was on the level part of my driveway and I pushed the gas a little, only to be met with a loud clunk and reversed like normal after that. The second time I was on a little slope and within a foot of rolling backward, the clunk happened again but since I was still at idle, it wasn’t as severe.
Other than that, it shift normal and smooth as it should.
Any ideas?
