    Question Another odd sound (please help)

    When putting my car in first gear I hear a moderately loud thunk from the rear of the car (sounds like diff or perhaps tranny)

    Any suggestions on what it could be? It only happens when its cool/cold - thereafter it subsides.

    Thanks for your help

    Have you inspected your rear subframe recently? In particular rear trailing arm bushings, tranny mounts?

    Mine does that too in any weather but only sometimes. I think its just the tranny getting into gear...no big deal. This is what I think anyway.
