Clunk when engaging reverse gear
Hi all,
I've done a little research on this & it appears to be somewhat normal with many cars, but I just want to double check if anyone else has experienced it with their Volvo. When I start my car (2007 S80 2.4 D Auto) first thing in the morning & move the gear lever from park to reverse, there's a clunking noise. The car is parked on a slight incline & I don't use the handbrake much if I'm being honest. Is this clunking noise normal? I read that its a part of the transmission called a parking pawl, basically holding the weight of the vehicle & when engaging gear, that part is under massive load. My other suspicion would be the engine mounts, or maybe the transmission mount causing this noise? I've had the gearbox oil flushed & replaced in March this year at a Volvo specialist with software updates. |
