Grunting noise just before 2nd gear.
Not sure any of you experience this before, but I hear a grunting noise before the car shits to 2nd gear...roughly around the time auto-door locks kick in @10mph. I also feel the vibration thru the gas pedal at the same time. This happens typically once a day, the first time I start the car. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated

^ so yours does it somewhere between 1st and 2nd gear? Just worried that this might be an precursor to a bigger problem down the road.

When this happens, are you accelerating very slowly, and it happens right when the car shifts into second?

My fix to this is to accelerate just a tad faster.
