I have a 2002.5 ES with auto and sportshift and I have recently began to notice a clunking sound when I hit the gas from a stopped position in reverse. I don't here the clunk when I shift into reverse only when I hit the gas. I was thinking that the engine mount broke or something. I took a quick look at the front mount and I saw a rubber tab that was sticking out of it. Not sure if it is normal but if I need to take the picture I will. I read somewhere about straight gears and that is what I am hearing but I don't know if that refers to manual transmissions only. Does anyone know what I might be hearing?

 

I have a2003 P5 & it does the same, i would also like to know if any body knows if there is a fix for this.
Thank`s in advance.

 

i have a click related to when i first put my car into reverse and just step on the accelerator.. it eventually stopped after i moved my intake a litle bit.. it seems to just happen after i have started the car.. and when the abs tests itself at low speed and in reverse.. at least thats what i noticed..
