So recently bought a 1996 John Deere 544G with the 4 speed transmission ( 1,2,3, and D). Anyway, when going from neutral to forward or reverse it clunks hard once as it shifts and then drives and runs fine, it clunks again as you shift from first to second to third to drive, no matter what gear you hit, it clunks hard once as you shift. Even at a dead stop on flat ground. But no other audible noises from the transmission. Good oil level too on the trans. Is that normal for this era of transmissions for this machine? Could I Possibly be losing the transmission? Or could it be a solenoid going out?
