Every time I start the car and I shift to reverse I hear a clunk noise before it engages. I turn off the car and then shift into 1st gear or second gear, there isn't that much of a noise. Is this standard? I have own DSM before and this doesn't seem standard, but this is the first time I have owned a EVO. Sounds like the clunk is coming from the drive shaft or the transmission.

comments appreciated.

 

Sometimes it will stick if you try to go into reverse right away, I usually shift into first....bump it forward a little and then shift into reverse.

 

i might be the parking brake ! i use to have a car that did that . it would clunck when i started moving . it was just the praking brake hanging up a little bit then harshly releasing
