If your transmission has bands have them checked. They are adjusted by
torque and a feeler gauge usually accessible from the lower valve body.

Hello,
I do not know if 02 trannys have band adjustments ?? Also the clunk is not
always present ?? Its like it takes an extra 1/16 of an inch to engage ??

Your 45RFE doesn't have any bands. However, if it did, a feeler gauge would
be close to the last tool in the toolbox you would reach for when adjusting
bands.
