S40: - 2009 S40 2nd gear is making a weird sound.

chrisozaf · Dec 3rd, 2018, 20:40

So every time I start my car I get a weird little sound like gears grinding right AFTER I switch to the 2nd gear.
What makes this sound even more bizarre is the fact that it only happens the first time I switch to the 2nd gear.
So for example if I start the car go into 2nd gear and then stop at a red light and go into 2nd gear again the grinding isn't there anymore.

Does anyone have any idea what that sound might be?

Sorry, no ideas. You may get better insight from posting in the 2005+ forum though.

Sounds to me like the ABS self test that these cars do.

They do it at around 5mph everytime you start the car, it's a small clunk/grind kinda noise that you can feel through the pedal, only does it once every start.
