(5AT)Does this happen to you...???
I park my car in my car port in reverse, but its a slight incine nothing too steep. In the mornings when i go to work, when i put the car in drive it kind of bangs into gear, but when i drive it shifts normally, no banging no slipping, it only happens when i come out of the slight incline at my house. Is this normal? I have a 5AT by the way.

Sounds like you are not setting the hand brake before you shift into park. It's normal but it does put a strain on your transmission. Next time, when parking, shift into neutral, set the hand brake, release the foot brake, and then when the car settles into its final parked position, shift into P. That should eliminate the "banging" into gear.

Actually, as long as you set the handbrake before releasing the foot brake you should be fine. The more severe the incline the more of a problem it may be for the car to roll a bit when in "P".

nah it's natural. You're on an incline your wheels are already moving, when you engage the transmission your engine gets in touch with the wheels, I know exactly what you mean. Just get on the brakes and hold onto it until you finish the shift.

Well... if you release the brakes on an incline, and then pull the parking brake, you've already put a load on the transmission when you are parked there since the transmission is locked up and the car wants to roll downhill. When you shift out of park the clunking you hear is the sudden release of the load of the transmission from the park gear. It has nothing to do with the gear that you are going into. My recommendation is to tightly pull the handbrake and let it take the resistance of rolling downhill other than your transmission. When you release just do it backwards, hit the brakes, undo the parking brake, then shift into D, and then release the brakes.

Any car with an automatic transmission will do that if the weight of the car is supported by the transmission and not the brakes (i.e. if its the transmission that is keeping the wheels from turning while the car is parked). The easiest solution, as discussed above, is to make sure that the parking brake takes the weight of the vehicle before the transmission is placed in "Park".
