Clunk when downshifting pulling trailer
I noticed that twice this past week my 09 Ford did some type of clunk when it was in tow/haul mode and I was pulling a 20ft. trailer weighing in around 4K pounds. It only did it when I was barely ...

The trailer is within the towing limits, it has brakes. Both times it was while slowing to make a turn, the ball is lubed. I don't know for sure if
it was upshifting or down shifting. The driveshaft has no lube points on it, on my Pu I removed the shaft and lubed the spline as it did the same
thing while upshifting pulling my heavy ( within the limits) gooseneck. I will monitor it and check the tranny fluid. Friend of mine has been
rebuilding trannys for 30 years, I'll speak to him this week. This V-10 has no issue pulling this trailer or my JK toad, strong motor. The shift
patterns are all normal even under hard accelerations from a dead stop or otherwise.
