Default Re: Clunk noise when shifting P R N D

1st off, I don't think you need to get under the car. If anything is going bad, it sounds like it's right at the shift lever mechanism under the console. My auto. makes a little noise going through the gears, perhaps not as loud as yours though. How many miles on the car and how long have you had it? And of course the noise would be more present when the engine isn't drowning it out. Is it possible you just never tuned into it before now? If something is happening, my bet is that it's the connection at the bottom of lever, or maybe a console nut/bolt connection has loosened or fallen off; Just guessing here. Good luck with it, perhaps others have had this louder shifting before that will add their experience with it.
