Clicking tranny - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When backing up I am hearing a clicking noise coming from the tranny. Tranny is a 400 turbo. Anyone know what it could be?

Thanks

I'd check your u-joints.

What am I looking for?

Slackness. There shouldn't be much if any play in the driveline with the tranny in park.

Hard to tell without hearing it but I would check the shift linkage....if it is not adjusted correctly it could be the parking pawl...the thing that locks the trans when you put it in park. I have heard them make noise when the shift linkage is not adusted correctly....and it will only do it in reverse

I will check the u joints. In Jan the truck is going to the tranny shop for a checkup so I will ask them to check the parking pawl then.

Thanks Merry Christmas
