P5 automatic. 2002.
I hear a noise like a loud "clunk/creaking" noise from the front end whenever I switch between R and D and then I accelerate. the noise doesn't happen during the shift it happens when I start driving. but only on the first acceleration. If I stay in either R or D and keep going it's fine even after I stop and go. I am able to avoid this noise if I am light on the throttle. It seemed worse this morning, probably because it was cold today.
I have NO idea what could be causing this (other than motor mounts maybe, or an internal transmission issue) so I'm hoping someone on here can shed some light! thanks!
