When backing out of a parking spot I get a big CLANK when I shift from Reverse to Drive. I always make sure to come to a complete stop before shifting to Drive. I don't have any other problems with the Tranny going out of gear or anything like that. I have read several posts here about U-joints and I believe I saw another with the phrase "slop in the transmission" (I assume this means there is a little bit of give in the gears before they actually catch?).
I was just wondering what the true cause is...not because it affects my performance or anything, but I just want to make sure its nothing serious that is going to get worse and do damage to the vehicle...at 82,000 miles my warranty is no more.
Thanks in advance for all of the answers I am sure I will get....
