Honda Car Forum

I bought a new honda accord 2003 a week ago. Everytime the car is
started and shifts its transmission for the very first time I feel
"zhing" like sound.It's not the usual bump like feeling that happens
during the transmission shift.

And I never feel that sound after the first time even when I stop and
start from the traffic light.

Is it something related to the brake-in period? I already have 700
miles logged in the car. did anyone have this experience?

I have a '03 EX-L (4 cyl) and I don't believe I've ever heard the
sound you are describing. I have about 1,500 miles on it, most of
which are city miles so lots of start-ups.

Do you have a 4 or a 6?

My Honda CVT makes some odd noises, especially in reverse, but that
wouldn't be the same as your Accord. Perhaps it has electrically engaged
clutches. My Chrysler automatic had electric clutches, and you could hear
them engage, almost like a very heavy zipper. This was more noticeable
when the transmission was cold.
