The Big Clunk...Need some professional opinions.

[Luma]

While driving my automatic Avanti, I experienced a big clunk, just before the car came to a complete stop at an intersection. While giving it gas to get moving it felt like the emergency brake was on and the car was stressing to move. I paused and slipped it into reverse and it felt like it freed up and I was able to drive off. It is now doing that at almost all stops and i drove around in low and experienced the same problem. I'm pretty sure what the problem may be but would like to hear from anyone else who has experienced a similar condition.

Thanks,

Sounds like the rear sprag is worn on the transmission, and locking up .

Brad,

Thanks for your opinion. I agree 100%. Switching over to manual transmission.

Thanks,
