Hi,
I kept watching the ten second video over and over and looking for the wheel to jerk when you shifted but that never happened for me.
The engine makes plenty of noise for the camera though but I assume you were trying to demonstrate a clunk or clanging during the shift.
In this kind of scenario I’m suggesting maybe it’s a CV joint of a drive shaft you are hearing.
We didn’t get it so you might want to edit in a little more length of video before you shift.
What sort of sounds will it do when you go from drive and back up into reverse is another good test to find slack in a driveline.
The rocking of the drive line is one sound only.
With you having a FWD or AWD for that matter, is not a friendly sound.
The other is a clunk while turning corners at a slow speed.
Turning up into a drive way approach is one that truly tests the steering knuckles and the suspension geometry of struts and mounts.
Speaking of mounts, the transmission will twist the engine on its mounts so you might be getting one worn out since 2006? I have read that it’s a common thing to expect.
It might be time for a date with a 2X4 piece of wood.
Women, from where I was raised, were measured width wise, by the length of an axe handle. (:-)
I married well away from that state!
The park mode usually has to pull a claw or pin to disengage the parking mode on automatics.
So, you might hear the mechanical affect of that motion only but if the idle is too high then that might be excessive and harsh.
I’m not familiar with the idle speed on these cars but the video does seem loud and possibly a fast idle that should be computer controlled.
In saying that, I would ask what could be the cause for a too fast of an idle?
Does something think it’s colder and needs to idle faster?
I will leave you those things to think about.
Phil
