When i shift from either park to reverse or to drive or back and forth between the two i hear a clunking noise that comes from the differential when the gears are engaging. i don't know if it is something to be worried about or if it is just the flaw of the vehicle all i know is it never made the nois before when my parents drove it and it also sat at year not being driven so i don't know it that would have anything to do with it?
