Clunk Noise When I Start!?!

my car is weird i tell you! i brought it to the dealership and they didnt do nothing about it! so i come to you guys and ask for help. anyhow my car when i do i stop and i gas it kinda hard my car goes clunk! and i can feel like the gears grinded a little or something but the thing is that my car is a automatic not a manual. and if i do it enough times when i get out of the car i can smell like burn rubber or gears grind smell. any feedback would be nice! OH yeah i used to get that clunk alot but ever since i filled up my last tank with 87 octane i got a lot less of it i used to fill it with 89 octane.

From what you describe, my car does the same when the tranny is cold. Maybe for the first 5 minutes of driving.

If I pull up to a stop sign or light, and don't wait for the gears to mesh, then floor it, it will go CLUNK (like it's slipping)! This stops after 5 minutes or so (and doesn't do it at all when warm), but there's no buring smell!

I just simply take it easy for the first 5 minutes!

MY NOT-AT-ALL-EDUCATED OPINION:

I had a Probe that did a similar thing before the tranny went out. It might be that you are leaking transmition fluid from a broken seal or gasket. This can be a sign of a tranny that is about to croak, and the burning that you smell is the leaked fluid burning up after it leaked onto the engine. I hope not, but your tranny might be seeing its last days.
