When I start the truck it idles fine until it warms up
then a clunking sound below shifter forward where torque convertor is located. When I put it in drive and hold on the brake the clunking is worse lightly shaking truck. But then drives great in every gear.
However while on Highway over 50 and let go of gas pedal same area makes a loud dragging sound until you gas it . accelerates great just when you let off.
I suspect Torque convertor and maybe ujoints.
What do you think?
Thanks.

Hi there,

I would drop off the access cover and have a look for a cracked drive plate, start there.
