Seeking advice regarding hard clunk from transmission

[Faheem_23]

Understood. Did the car shift fine when you first got it?

Yes it did. The only problem was the slight bump i faced during the first start in the morning which i now suspect was due to a low fluid level.

Got it. So the shifting pattern reset and fluid topping off both helped.

Did you get to see the dent on the pan when it was discovered? If not, would you be willing to check it out yourself? A good look at the pan will help you decide to freak out or chill.

I would get that pan replaced as soon as possible. No amount of fluid leakage is acceptable.

Agree that if the dent was deep enough to actually damage the internals, you would know, because a simply shift adapt reset would not help physical damage.
