Sonata 2006, 3.3 auto, made in Korea and purchased in the UK.
When changing up into 3rd gear (auto box) for the first time, there is a
mild clunking noise. Sounds a bit like two metallic plates banging together.
From then on, the gears are quiet and smooth, even when changing into 3rd
again. So it only does it once.
Any ideas what is causing this noise?
cheers,
nick
