clunk in transmission

When shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, I hear a clunk coming from the transmission. It only happens from 1st to 2nd gear (and maybe about 50% of the time). I will have it looked at when I go in for service in September. It has been doing this since new.

Does anybody else have this clunking noise?

Thanks, David.

Mine's been pretty noisy out of the box too. It's an 03'. I think it's normal as
even the Edmunds review mentioned something about a snickering tranny
or something or the other. :smile:

My other cars did not/does not have this noise.

Exactly the same with my '05 MCS. I consider this normal. Worse when I'm sloppy with the shift...pretty minor when I pay attention to a smooth 1st to 2nd transition. :smile:
