Honda Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Welcome to JA. My name is***** am a fully qualified vehicle technician with over thirty years in the trade. I will be happy to assist you today. Hopefully we can get this resolved quickly. You will receive an offer of a phone call by the system, this only needs to be accepted if you wish to speak to me, I can otherwise continue to answer your questions via the thread.
The noise may be from the gearbox / engine mountings and not it the gearbox, a small clunk as the drive takes up is not too serious, and the main problem that these gearboxes suffered was a juddering when accelerating. If the gearbox fluid is good and the car drives smoothly otherwise, I would not expect this to be a major gearbox problem. It could be the case that slight play in the engine / gearbox mounts is allowing a small amount of movement which is causing the clunk.
The first step would be to ensure the gearbox fluid level is good and a nice clean colour with no smell of burning. The gearbox oil level should be checked within 90 seconds of switching off the engine.
I hope this answers your question but I want you to be 100% happy with the answer so do please feel free to ask any further details by replying to this thread.

Good morning
The problem could be an actuator or software issue, when they change the fluid tomorrow they should be able to check for any fault codes in the gearbox, this should highlight if there is a problem.
This could well be a glitch and it can happen when a sensor gives out a random reading for a second. Hopefully an oil change will sort things out, but reading the codes will give a better idea.
Your welcome.
