Normal Sound When Shifting to Drive?

Settling into my CPO 08 base TL. I was looking at changing the pressure switches and ATF in a couple thousand miles (when I reach 30,000).

When I reverse then shift to drive, I notice a audible click/clunk coming from the tranny. Is that normal for this car? Its more noticeable than my 2nd Gen TL or my wife's Pilot.

Any ideas?

Yes. Not just Acura's, but Hondas do it too.

No, they don't NEED to be. But you can if you are super anal.

I'm reaching 30k, not 3k.
