Hey yall,
I have a 2007 tahoe LT 4WD. stock.
I've noticed between second and third gear shifts there is a slight clunk. Not very loud but noticable. Only does it it under light acceleration, and I can also feel/hear it if I'm cruising down the road with my foot OFF the pedal and then I give it gas. Notice that going around turns when I let off the gas for a few seconds and then hit the gas. Any info would be great!

Step one Check your u joints. Just grab the drive shafts and see if there is exesive play there may even be a noise if they are real bad.

I'm no auto expert by any means, but this seems to be a common problem with these transmissions. The same thing happens on my '11 Tahoe and '10 Avalanche. I got my Tahoe tuned by Black Bear and they got rid of some of the Torque Management. The tune cleaned up the shifts, amongst other things. I believe there are a bunch of threads/posts about the transmission problems in these trucks. It's annoying, but I wouldn't be overly concerned about it.
