thanks jack

Have you changed your trans fluid? How does the magnet on the drain plug look? Do you have any tranny leaks? Start there, also check your rear axles to make sure they don't have any loose bolts. Do you get the "Bang Bang" in all gears? How many miles on the van, trans?

i have been getting a banging noise when i decelerate in gear, that seems to be a lot less when i give the van a bit more gas. i have no grinding, and no problem at all going between gears. all shifting is smooth and there is no hesitation at all. but, as said, a bang bang bang occurs every now and then while in gear. it is not a constant, as it seems to occur more later in the day after some use than at first start up. any ideas as to for what i should be looking? bearing or gear on the way out? oil level low?

help appreciated
