Weird Noise when putting car into gear

Hey everyone,
I just noticed that when ever I start my car and put the car into gear, i hear this weird vibration noice for a second. Has anyone else heard this before and does anyone know what it is?

Thanks guys,
Sojah

well, my guess would be that the weird sound is when you put the car into reverse, the passenger side mirror is tilting down.

Ha, ha... for the 1-millionth time...

After starting up your TL moving forward the ABS system is tested (or so I've been lead to believe). Once at about 5 mph then again about 15-20 mph (I think).

Later,

V.

Sometimes my tranny "clunks" when I go from park into reverse. Doesn't sound too good....

My car does that, too, so you're not the only one.
