it's not a hobbie its a way of life
it clanks cause the tranny oil is old. happened to mine, so i changed the oil and fixed it. and the cutting out thing i dont know cause u didnt explain it. does it cut out like totaly no more engine noise or just sounds stange and dosent give any power?
It 'cuts out' when one has surpassed maximum safe revs to avoid transmission damage, and also because at that point, say full-throttle on a long downhill...if it did engage the trans it would actually slow you down.
As for the noise, not only would I replace the trans fluid, I would take the trans apart and see if there are any metal fragments in there...it's a pain in the arse, true - but may save you buying a new trans in the future, especially if there are bits of metal or a busted part to worry about.
