I went over a speed bump a lil too fast, and i felt my 5AT shake in my hand a lil more than I thought it should..

Also, when I start my car and leave from whereever Im at, within the first 100 feet, I hear a sound.. kinda like a clunk of some sort.. it doesnt do it again until the next time I start her up and leave..

Not completely sure if the two are connected.. maybe a tranny mount going bad or something..? motor mount?

Opinions appreciated.

 

Sounds like a motor mount brokeded. Does it do it every time you rev. Have someone stand and look at your engine bay and someone revs it so you can see how much movement is going on.

 

+1 motor mount

 

That clunking noise you hear within the first 100 feet is more than likely the car doing an ABS self-test. It is completely normal. I'm pretty sure it talks about it in the owner's manual.

QFT. If you don't hear it it's time to get concerned. You will also feel the pedal vibrate if you put your foot on the brake when the system tests itself.

 

If I had what you're experiencing I'd get my ride up in the air and check everything out from the trans mount/oil pan to the suspension. I'm not a fan of noises that I don't know what's causing them....

Im with you Gary... I hate the little rattles and ****. I plan on doing a complete "rejuvination" on my baby. (Replace bearings, bushings, mounts main gaskets, suspension, radiator flush, tranny flush, axel click/rear diff oil change, steering assembly, hoses, wiper blades, stereo system, brakes, grounding system, detail) when I hit 80k miles.. which is 7500 away.

Basically, better than new
