So as you all know I replaced my CV shafts last week.
My transmission has always had a clunk when shifting between drive and reverse. I'm guessing that's somewhat normal given I have had the car since low miles (33k), plus my previous vehicle with a 4t60e also did it until I got rid of it at 170k miles.
But with the new CV shafts in, I hear a secondary clunk, which seems to come from the CV shaft itself. It's loudest on the drivers side shaft and doesn't happen with every shift. So it's something like this:
Shift between D and R or R and D -> Trans engage clunk -> CV shaft clunk -> *Sometimes* another clunk from either side when pulling off
However beyond this the shafts are quiet rolling in both directions and when turning.
The new shafts do have similar, minor in and out play, as well as minor rotational play at the inner CV "cup" part where they sit into the transmission. Maybe it's just this minor play making these noises?
I used CarQuest/Advance Auto new CV shafts. Yes, I know not OEM, but kind of hard to put $400 into a car that isn't worth more than a grand when the alternatives are around $110.
