Transmission problem?

Is there anyone who has the same problem as I am? I have NBP '04 TL A/T w/ navi. It just passed the break in period. Everytime I run my car, especially in the morning, when it change its gear from 1st to 2nd, there is a sound "grekk" from the gear but after that the sound is gone until I let it sit for few hours then run it again. It's only from the 1st gear to the 2nd. Anyone knows what is wrong with my car?

Rets is trying to point you to the handy search feature of the site

Most believe, including me, that is just your ABS performing a diagnostic/coming on-line. ITS NORMAL.

Thanks rets,

It really helped me out.. I just afraid because the sound is quite loud and sometimes I can feel it from the accelerator pedal. What is the safety recall from Acura about the early build TL have the problem with the transmission? It's not the same with the click sound, is it?

Are you sure that it's not the auto door-lock kicking in at exactly 10 mph?
