From a stop, upon putting the car into "drive", there is a hesitation for about 2 seconds before the gear "catches". I do not press the accelerator until the gear engages, then it seems to run fine, shifting up and down the gears without a problem. If the accelerator is pressed, from a stop when the gear lever is put into drive before it "catches", there is a "thump", but I've been successful in avoiding this other than on a few occassions. It does not to seem to be getting worse, but I'm concerened since we want to keep the car on the road for a couple more years. What's might this be?

2 questions: what's a D4 Light, and is there somewhere besides Autozone who'd do a free scan? There's none near me. Also, assuming the CEL is the Check Engine Light, it is NOT on. Thanks.
