clunking when going into gear is going to be a blown mount problem. I doubt its an internal problem.

My tranny has whined since day 1

I agree with Ordonez, Might be a mount issues, take a look and see. Mine whines really loud since I got the car almost 3 years ago... I hate the whining noise!

Why get another pickup with the way gas prices are? Just fix your car its a nice car and you tend to think too poorly of it.

dude im surprised you havent bent anything on that car yet. especially since you told me yesterdaty that you bent the frame on the camaro by ramping an intersection and you said you do the same thing with the GP. IDK man you want our help for your car but you NEVER take care of it! Your 15 or 16 and you have a lot of learning to do. Ya your GP was on its way out but you can still give it TLC and make it better but you never want to do it...you do burnouts and everything in the car and wonder why its acting up..hmmmm?

Good luck for fix them or get pick up truck. I think he want pick up truck because he live farm around I believe. His driveway is from gravel right? This car will dirty every single day.

The only thing you need to really worry about when it comes to our tranny's is how they shift.

Mine whines like a supercharger and used to clunk when going from R to D (rotating motor mounts fixed that) but the physically the tranny is fine and I'm not going to start throwing money at a problem that doesn't exist.

Just like everyone else said, replace your motor and tranny mounts and go from there.
