verify its full of the correct ATF+4 fluid and beyond that, don't worry about it. you can prevent the noise by shifting to neutral for about 30 seconds before taking off for the first time.

if it was an actual mechanical clatter, it would do it all the time.

Alright, I am game to leave well enough alone. It sounds like it is doing the same as everyone else's. As long as it is not creating problems that will leave me stuck in the middle of nowhere with a dead tranny I'm fine.

Thanks guys

In theory as the weather warms up (whenever that is, friggin COLD down in Georgia today) you should eventually not hear it anymore.

go to the page for 2nd gen ram (for technical) or 2nd-get-ram - general discussion (for BS) and look for the button near top left "new thread".
