Just bought a '96 LX with 80K last week, it's been running great. Did the trans fluid flush a few days ago. Didn't seem to improve performance or anything but the old ATF was a little reddish brown compared to new stuff, so I changed it.
Changed the oil and did the spark plugs, rotor and cap tonight. When I was backing it out of the garage I noticed that the tranny "clunks" when you're in park and touch the brake pedal (the exact moment the brake lights come on). I can't believe I wouldn't have noticed this before, but I didn't do anything related to the trans tonight. The ONLY thing I touched that was trans related tonight was the trans cable that comes off the throttle body, had to remove it from the mount to make the plug wires easier to get to. I only loosened the nut on one side and retightened it on the same side to make sure I didn't change the adjustment any. I suppose it's possible the adjustment could have changed, but it couldn't have been much.
Anyone have any ideas about the "clunk"? Seems fine when in reverse and drive, it only happens in park.
