Down shift bump
 
The transmission in my 87 GN with 116,000 miles just started making a very loud bump/thump noise when it down shifts to 1st or 2nd gear. Is it time for a rebuild or is a simpler fix possible?

It could be bad U joints (a relatively easy fix). With those miles, it's probably time for that anyway.

Be sure to get the non-greasable/permanent U joint replacements (a lot stronger).
