4EAT sounds
When I pull my transmission handle, my SVX occationally goes CLUNK! when the lever is passing or put to 'R'. This will be most noticable if the car is having it's nose pointing dowhill but can also occur when level.
Any suggestions?

Re: 4EAT sounds
Could be normal - depends....
When you release the park ratchet and if it is "under load", i.e. either nose down or nose up w/o the parking brake having been set before moving the selector to "P", you will get a metallic sound. There's always some play in the drive train and you will hear the parts clang when the applied torsion is abruptly released. Try setting the parking brake always prior to moving the selector to "P" and see if this makes a difference. Tapani |

Re: 4EAT sounds
I'm not sure what your friend meant by letting the car jolt slightly. If you put the car in park ("P"), then there should be no jolt at all. At that point you've taken the load of the engine off of the transmission. If he's saying to put it in "P" and let your foot off the brake to get that "jolt" then he's got it backwards.
The proper way is:
The idea here is that the brakes are doing the job of holding the car in place (especially on a hill), and not the transmission. Specifically, the transmission's "parking pawl". Although unlikely, it is possible for the pawl to become weakend over time from not using the parking brake and it could break off and cause your car to roll. This is also why technically you're supposed to turn your wheels when parking on a hill - my wife had an old VW bug who's parking brake failed and her car rolled across the street and into a neighbor's yard stopping right in front of their living room window.
