Hi everyone, Ihave a '94 bighorn 3.1 diesel auto, which we've had for about five years and never had a problem with -until now! when towing our caravan if I ease off the throttle to slow down and then try to accelerate I get a banging noise and a jerking from the transmission. When driving solo it never does it, no matter what distance I drive, but when towing there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to when this happens, ie sometimes after maybe 20 miles, sometimes after quite a bit further. I've tried to make the problem happen to try and diagnose what it is, but it only does it when it chooses to!! At first I was convinced it was the gearbox, but then I was thinking it could be the rear diff, and now I'm thinking I have no idea what it is, so I hoping for some ideas from you guys on here who have a wealth of knowledge of these vehicles. Thanks in advance, Ron

Could be brake band if it bangs into gear like that.

Have you check ATF level and to see if it is still a nice red colour?
