Transmission Thunk

Recommended Posts

Has anybody experienced a situation where when moving the car from P to R or D they get a thunk come up through the transmission? This started happening recently and I'm concerned that it could be the first sign of a larger problem. The vehicle has 15,600 miles on it, it's a 2008 AWD Limited.

Hi JRavey. :D It might be, or it might not be. Internet diagnosis is difficult/impossible. All we can do is take educated (or wild) guesses. And you will always be able to find someone who says they had "this noise" or "that problem", either real or perceived. And most likely their problem will have no relationship to your problem/concern anyway. Especially a "thunk" when moving from Park to Reverse or Drive.

 

Here are some places you can start to investigate: Have you checked the transmission fluid level? Was it filled properly? Did the fluid look discolored or smell burned? If it was low, did you top it off to the proper level?

 

Essentially, your best course of action is to make an appointment for service and bring it in for diagnosis. You are still covered by the New Car Warranty, so any necessary repairs are covered under Warranty.

 

Good luck. :beerchug:
