I replaced the starter on my 2013 3.5 FWD, no issues swapped it right out.
When I tightened the shifter lever on the transmission the lever shifted from park. I shifted it back and reconnected the shifter cable. I started it and it fired right up, after a few seconds the trans clunked hard, like when you shift into drive with a bit of throttle still on. It clunks even harder when I shifted into reverse or drive.

I turned it off and made sure the leaver was all the way forward for park and check the cable install and it still does it.. Everything seems fine, not sure what I did. Anyone run into this?
