6 speed reverse "clunk" help??
My 8 makes a clunk sound when in reverse. I put it in reverse, and if the clutch isn't all the way out it doesn't do it. When I release the clutch all the way I get a little "clunk" from what sounds like the front of the vehicle. Any ideas?

Its probably the ABS self test as above mentioned, i hear it every time i back out and it always sounds like i've clipped something with a fender :x
An easy way to test is to go forwards initially(back in next time you park) and you will hear it all the same as when you're backing out.. just a quick 'clunk' noise.

that may be it
Thanks for the replies. I read the section on ABS when I bought the car. I thought it said you would have some noise and "grinding" or something like that when you started the car.
What I am experiencing seems plausible with the ABS deal. I have ABS on other cars, but they are auto trannys, and the brakes do something funny when I start.
thanks,
Trevor
