Metal Clank Sound
Can you guys help me diagnose this sound?
The sound occurs the moment you hit the Start button and right before then engine turns on. It is one short metal clank sound that sounds similar to clanks when your car is cooling down. Is this normal?
Im just a little paranoid, because I have misshifted a few times and was wondering if this might be a sign of something bad. Better to know now, so that I can fix it sooner rather than later.
Thanks in advance!
