Default Transmission clack/crack - Please Help

Greetings all - I am in need of advise. I have a 2001 with the automatic transmission, when shifting from park to reverse or drive a sharp metal clack or crack is heard just as everything engages. I have had her in 4 times to be checked - with no fix insight.

First try - tightened sway bar
second try - heard no noise
third try - adjusted transmission ???
last attempt - ordered wheel bearing (none is stock)

I have my doubts the wheel bearing is the problem, the noise is coming from the trans/drive line. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Silvia the BEACHPT

This was on here before. I , and many other 2001 owners, have the same problem. I think it might be in the brakes. But no one seems to know for sure. If you find out, please let us know!
It is only the first time you go in to reverse on mine.

5 speed here, no help at all, hope this doesn't interfere with your Run to Rushmore. I've kept Sept 13th marked on my calander but I can't get away from work. Guess I need a winter cruise.

Hello - My wheel bearing is in at the dealership and I am at a loss as to what to do - I do not believe the bearing is the problem.

It sound like the dealer is trying to help but they don't have a clue what they are looking for. My 20 years as a service manager tells me that you have to get the Tech in your car and show him what your talking about. What I suggest is ask them to have the Tech take a ride with you but make sure the noise is there otherwise you will be wasting your time. You have to understand that different people hear different things

Having an automatic 01 myself I would be very interested in hearing what this turns out to be
