Two days ago, I noticed "clunk.. clunk..clunk.." sound from undercarriage when I shift from N to D/S/L from stop position. The sound comes out after the car being used for several KMs and does not appear when I shift from N to R or when the engine temp. is cold.

Anyone can help to explain what happen with the transmission?
Is it because of the CVTF was overfilled? I check the CVTF level using the dipstick and it is over the "Hot" level even when the engine is cold.

FYI. The car was just perodically serviced at 40K KMs 3 days ago. I changed the CVTF at 5K internal and flushed at 10K interval.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

I recorded the clunk sound and hopes that someone can help me.

The clunk sound is at 9th seconds of the recording.

Thanks.

 

i heard this in my MT fit, it started about 6 months after having the car. ive heard a few others have been hearing clunking sounds also...but all in MT. im not sure if its the same sound as the recording is a little distorted. i do hear a clunking sound coming from the front of the car when shifting out of first gear to neutral, aomd sometimes from R to neutral in my MT.

 

Could this be one of the engine mounts?
I had one go on my WV Jetta and it made a sound that was kind of like this. If the rubber in the mount wasn't formed correctly there could leave be a void that allows metal to metal contact, and a clunk. This is what they fond at the garage on my VW.

On an older, rear wheel drive car, I tore the rubber on the crossmember mount that holds up the tail of the tranny. This sounded the same also. I was kind of hard on that car, but it sure was fun!

 

Hi Kancerr,
So.. is it already solved? Do you know what was the cause of problem? I'm not going to live with it... If problem still persist, think i'm just gonna sell the car.

 

Hi seeremlive,
Thanks for the input, I will take the car to the garage next week and check whether it is engine mount or not. Hopefully your prediction are correct.

 

i actually gave my car a really good listen yesterday, for me it happens when i shift out of first and put it in neutral and brake for the first time after starting the car. will happen when i go for reverse to neutral and brake also.
