Problems ALREADY! (engine knocking at certain RPM - HR16DE - solved)

[Robm6981]

Its not even during the start-ups, it starts perfectly fine. Its while im actually starting to accelerate from 0 the noise starts just for a second or two until the car changes from 1st too 2nd, its almost like it struggles to change gears and holds onto first for too long and makes a knocking noise? But its strange because it does not do it everytime i go to drive the car? i dunno im no mechanic but i think i know a bad sound when i hear it! I will try to get a vid with my iphone but im not sure how good the quailty will be or if youd even be able to hear it.

Thanks for the welcome!

I have heard it too, but only a couple times, and mine is a manual. Kind of a knocking or clunking sound when just starting off. It does kinda sound like a worn CV joint would or a loose/worn motor mount or suspension part.

I wonder if it might be the traction control deciding what to do... starting off slowly/smoothly and maybe a tire slips a bit on an oily spot.
