Why is my Kia Sorento's transmission making a clunking noise when shifting?

I've noticed a loud clunking noise when my Kia Sorento shifts gears, specifically when switching from park to reverse. It seems to happen more frequently when the car is cold. Is there a way to alleviate this issue?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an issue with your transmission's torque converter. A common solution is to have a transmission flush and refill, which can help smooth out gear shifts and reduce noise. I would also recommend having a professional mechanic inspect your vehicle for any other potential causes.

I had a similar issue with my Kia Sorento and it turned out to be a problem with the transmission mount. I would suggest bringing it to a trusted mechanic and having them check the transmission mount for any wear or damage. It's a relatively easy and inexpensive fix compared to other transmission issues.

I had this issue with my Kia Sorento and it ended up being an issue with the transmission fluid level. Make sure to check your transmission fluid regularly and top it off if necessary. Low levels can cause shifting issues and potentially lead to more severe damage if not addressed.
