Why does my car knock when I put it in reverse?

The axles are the joints that transmit power from the transmission to the wheels. The same can also be caused by worn engine or transmission mounts.

What do I hear when I put the car in reverse?

Just like my title says, I hear a sound coming from the transmission/under the car area as I put the gear into reverse. Is this normal for this car?

This only happens shifting to Reverse, and it goes away when the car is warmed up. There are no other apparent effects except the clunking noise. After a lot of reading and messing around, I discovered that the cold start problem was really about engine idle speed and not about temperature or any fluid pressure.

Why is there a clunking noise when I shift from Park to drive?

A damaged parking pawl can cause this clunking sound that you’ve described. The parking pawl needs help when your car is parked at an incline. It’s just a rod and if you park your car at an incline and the only thing keeping your car from rolling away is that rod, you’re going to stress that part out and subject it to premature wear.
