Why does the accelerator sometimes make a clunking sound?
1 Answers
Occasionally experiencing a clunking sound when pressing the accelerator could indicate an issue with the transmission. Below are detailed explanations for the possible causes of this clunking sound when accelerating: 1. Transmission problems: Loose drive shaft coupling, worn-out transmission, internal output shaft wear in the transmission, transmission gear wear, or shifting mechanism failure. 2. Parking on a slope by engaging P gear before pulling the handbrake: A pawl inside the transmission locks the output shaft to prevent vehicle movement. In such cases, the car may slide slightly on the slope, causing the entire vehicle weight to be borne by the P gear.
