Loud sound when moving off first gear
 

Hi Everybody,

I have a problem on my MAzda rx8 '04 model and was wondering if anyone had similar experience or could advise on the problem. I was starting the engine this morning and it was on idle for about a minute or so. I then decided to drive off with my windows down. Shifted to gear 1, let off hand brake, and stepped lightly on my gas pedal. The car moved off a little and then there is this loud noise. It sounded like something had snapped or broken.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you!

ABS self test perhaps

abs self test is like a loud thump or rather sound like a bass of the speakers right? This noise sounds metallic, like over-stretching a metal until it snaps. I understand that i should go to the mechanic but just wanted to see if anybody had same experience or know whats wrong. kinda worried.

1. Open trunk.
2. Grab jack.
3. Jack up car a little.
4. Look, and come back and tell us what you saw!
