Holden Barina 2004: Clunk when changing gears?

Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 05 Aug 2004

IT IS possible the clunk will go away. I don't think you're doing damage, but if it's still there when you take it back for the first service, mention it again to your dealer.

Holden Barina 2003: Groaning gearbox

Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 20 Apr 2010

Yes, it is worth checking. It could just be leaking and need new seals, but it really depends on the rate of the leak. If it’s leaking at a rapid rate you should be able to see oil on your driveway, if it’s not it might just be that you need to check it once a week and top it up as needed. If you are worried take it to your dealer, or an auto transmission specialist.
