Re: Transmission Bang?

Grounding as in banging gainst the underbody somewhere....

The exhaust system is suspended by rubber isolators to isolate any vibration. If the exhaust has been bent or something it may be touching the underbody and the noise you hear is the exhaust hitting somewhere when the engine starts.

Have someone else start the car the next time or reach thru the window and start it so you can run to the back and listen to get a better idea what is going on.
