Just got the explorer last night and am liking is so far...but this scares me.

The transmission appears to shift just fine, but when stopped if I shift from reverse/drive/park/etc I get a moan for about a second or two. It does this only about half the time and this morning didnt do it at all.

I have two days to return the vehicle if I see fit. There are a couple other problems that the previous owner appeared to be hiding as well. Their records reported the problems, but they lied when I asked them if they knew of any problems. The dealer supposedly did a full inspection on it, but should I take it to a transmission place as well? Should I be nervous?
 






I am a dork for responding to my own question, but I had it looked at by a transmission guy and he said everything is fine. I couldnt repeat the moan, but he said it was likely just the band tightening, but I cannot confirm this. So far so good then.
