    i have a loan of new automatic car. sometimes when i shift the car into reverse i hear a kinda click like when you put a manual in reverse.. is this normal? doesent happen all the time.. also sometimes i hear a click when car is put in D from N



    should automatic gearboxes make any noise when changing gears? checked fluid leves all ok..

    Some are audible but there should not really be a clunk, depends on the car.

    Make sure it's stationary before you switch between D & R, and DONT put it in P until the handbrake is on.

    it's really easy to kill a slushbox if you are rough.

    I recently bought an auto Accord, tho its a 00 rather than the new model you have EIN. Ive driven plenty of autos, tho this is the first ive actually owned. It has the tiptronic shift too.
    Switching between gears has been silent, a barely noticeable little 'kick' when you move from P or N to D. The only time it made any unpleasant sound was when i shifted into R before i had come to a dead stop. Then it crunched or grinded as with a sloppy manual gearchange. Lesson learned, :o . Be at a dead stop before you shift between selections
