Creak In the engine

When i start the motor after a couple hours of sitting i.e. cold start.....when i shift into drive or reverse (doesnt happen in neutral or park) it sounds like a knife in a blender, when you gas it is like the blender gets faster than at about 3 thousand it stops......any idea as to what it is?

Did you check the transmission fluid level?

sounds serious...I'd visit a dealer.

Could be something simple like a lost socket in the engine bay.

I have the same issue with my TSX 09.

Did you get any more information why that's happening ?

What I do now is let the engine warm up a little and then shift from park to reverse slowly. there is hardly any noise then.
