I have a brand new 2017 Toyota 86.
I can't remember if the car has always done this since it was at the dealership, and I've had this car a little over a month. Just a little concerned with this clunk/thud sound that happens when I move the shifter gears from neutral to 1st, and 1st to 2nd. The noise disappears as I get higher up in gears. It almost sounds like its coming from the back of the car.
Does this happen to anyone else or did I already break my new car somehow? Or am I overreacting? I drove it off the lot at 4 miles, car now has 1800 miles as daily driver 2-hour work commute per day, beginner at manual)
I found an article of a Mustang guy having a similar issue, didn't really get peace of mind from that article though. I found a 8-year-ago Yahoo answers article where everyone pretty much said it was U-joint but thats so old it may not apply to me. Need extra confirmation.
