I hear and feel a pronounced "thump" when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear in the manual mode of my automatic shift. It occurs at all speeds/RPM but louder at the higher speed/RPM. I have a 2005 Touring Z. The dealer says this is not uncommon. Really???????????? Any one else have this problem?

 

I also have a 2005 Touring with AT, and I have not noticed this when I use the manual mode.

 

Mine has done this from time to time. All the other shifts are smooth except going from 2nd to 3rd.

 

OMG , i have this same problem.... is there any solution to it? It sort of just lunges forwards with the thump; i like the lunge but not the thump.

 

*bump* any update?

 

I have this issue too especially during aggressive driving. I plan on mentioning it to my service department when I go in for my 15,000 mile check up. I'm at 13,500 or so now.

 

I hear a thump too, but I have the 6 speed, going to get it checked out..

 

same problem here.... 2nd to 3rd thump on my 05 enthusiast AT5

 

I have had that same problem from day one, but it only occurs during aggressive driving. Please let me know what the dealer has to say about this issue.

 

My dealer insists its normal. Took it in just for that reason too.

 

I have also noticed that problem when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, its sounds like a thud in the rear...

 

I guess I feel much better knowing that it's not just my car.

 

Happens here also.
