It's in the manual for the simple reason that all of them operate the same. I would be more concerned if it didn't make any noise. I had a good read of the owners manual and couldn't find the same contents as refer in the above post. Can anyone point out where I can find it. Cheers

Maybe to try to listen very very closely next time you start your car then select drive afterwards. thanks guys. Does this problem happened to all Aurion or just few unlucky one?

Man... sometimes the most simplest of answers always seems to escape me. Auri, does this sound like what you are hearing: that make sense. But why is it only making noise when I reverse the car first and drive forward (eg reverse from garage, reverse from car space) not when I select drive straight away after I start the car?

Yes, you are spot on. The noise don't just appear once I start driving, it appears just right before the first gear change.

I know this will also sound stupid, but are you bringing the car to a complete stop before you put it into drive? haha.....YES and always. I reckon the noise may have something to do with the gradient sensor??

Automatic I would assume. Have you payed attention to the revs the engine is at when you do this? Are you selecting reverse within 10 seconds of a complete cold start? If so, wait about 20-30 seconds until the revs drop down to 1000RPM (or very close to) and then try selecting reverse. See if it does it much smoother then. So in other words, when you experience this issue, how high are your engine revs? Nah. No noise when selecting reverse gear. The noise appears before the 1st gear change only when I reverse the car first and drive forward.

Hi, I have bought a new 2010 Aurion AT-X recently and I was pretty happy with the overall quality and performance untill recently that I have noticed strange noise everytime when I reverse the car and go forward and before the 1st gear change I will hear a clounk noise coming from the front end of the car? The gear change is still very smooth is just that when I reverse and go forward the gear seems o be playing the weird sound. Do any of you guys experiencing the same problem? I did report the problem to Toyota when they did the first inspection but was told that is because the gearbox is not beded in yet and I should let them know if the problem still exist at next service which won't be due for another 5 months. Anyway, what do you guys think? Cheers.
