1k mile TIP making odd noises!

[minameismud]

got a hair over 1k miles on my car, and i've noticed a sound coming from what i assume is the transmission. on the first shift from first to second of any drive, i'll hear either a muffled gear-griding sound or some type of thunk. only happens the first time, and it does seem to delay the shift. i'm smart with my car - i let it warm up before i go past about 2k rpm. after that first one, it's fine...shifts like butter. yesterday, i heard a slightly different clunk from the front left corner, almost from the front left suspension assembly. i was on flat pavement. anyone ever experience anything like this? haven't taken it in to the stealership yet, i was planning on waiting till the 5k service and have them drain the tranny fluid (if they don't do it anyway) to check for shavings.

The tip is a weird it could be normal it, but just take it to the dealer and have them check it out.

they are not going to drain the fluid even if you ask them to do so.

I don't think thats the transmission. That sound is coming from your brakes. My car made that sound when i had less than 500 miles on my car. I already took my car in for that, the sound went away, and now its back. I think it was from the caliper seals..it makes a humming sound correct?

yea you don't want to drain the tranny fluid that early. if you can keep the car there overnight and show it to them in the morning that's the best method.
