Sounds when you back up
dunno if this is normal or what, but when i drive a few feet, throw it into Neutral, then Reverse, i get a loud clang sound...until last night, i just figured it was the tranny going into Reverse mode, but my dad asked me bout it, and now i'm a bit paranoid...i have had no tranny issues in the past (knocking wood), and i find no issues with the tranny in Reverse...all is peachy keen...but i just wonder if others have experienced the sound when u put the car in reverse...and i only get it after i've proceeded forward, doesn't matter if it was a few feet or after driving 30 minutes...thanx guys.

This seems to be the nature of the beast, esp. parked on an incline doing a reverse selection. I found if I shift into "N" and roll back when parked on an incline eliminates doing the "clunk". I also discovered that a nice quick motion into "R" and not a paranoid slow engauging produces no clunking. Sort of like giving it a no time to react thing!
