donk...gear shifts

guys with autos... when you shift from reverse to drive, or srive to reverse... you hear a"donk" from the bottom?

and when you start your g for the first time everyday... is the shift from park to reverse alot more severe?

thanks

Never heard any donks going into reverse. The closest thing to a donk for me would be going from third to second.

Not that I have noticed. Only sound that I can think of it is the stick clacking through it's positions to get to reverse, but I'll give it a hard listen tomorrow to see if I can hear anything actually coming from the transmission.

I get one in the morning.. but I think that is because I park at a slight forward incline.

so you think its normal? but the noise is definitely not the exhaust.

Re: donk...gear shifts

Juggernaut that "donk" is the cars tranny taking longer to get into the gear and when it clonks to get in, you might be pressing the gas a little or rolling back or forward depending which way your going and then shifting intot he gear quick, its happened to me and corrected my mistake!
