Manic Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Last month I bought my wife a 2014 Meriva B auto and when we picked it up, it "clunked" forward when selecting drive. No problems with gear selection afetr drive has been selected. The issue is gradually getting worse and my wife is loosing confidence in the car. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, was it resolved? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolly Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 What’s happened since? I’ve got the same problem, doesn’t always happen but I had quite a violent thump today! (Meriva B, 64 plate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave May Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Sounds like previous owner had a habit of selecting neutral at the lights causing BRAKE BAND wear inside auto gearbox. With all normal Torque Converter automatics it is better to use handbrake and keep in D ( drive ) if your right foot cannot hold brake pedal long enough. Read more automatic info on my posts.

Nolly Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Thanks Dave. I’ve read online that a worn engine mount can cause clunking when selecting drive or reverse from stationary. I’m hoping it’s something like that! However the action I experienced as previous described was quite an alarming jolt/ thump on going from park to reverse.
