Clunk noise in 1st
Seems like there is usually a muffled clunk when moving after releasing the hand brake - almost as though I have bumped something. Never happens other than the 1st time I move it. Ideas?

I've been searching the forums, and seems most agree the clunk is an ABS test. I can't find it in my manual though, and my dealer didn't even know about this. They told me it was the limited slip differential.
How loud is your clunk? Mine is damn loud, like I'm going over a bump and scraping the underside of my car...

I hear it every morning! I park in a garage, and it's been pretty dry lately. But yeah, every morning... it sounds as if I just hit a curb with the wheels and a slow speed...
