2020 Acura RDX — clunk when changing from reverse to drive — buyer question from Chicago

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2020 Acura RDX before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Stop there until you know. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2020 Acura RDX owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. Then you'll know the next fork. Just my two cents from doing this recently. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2020 Acura RDX, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2020 Acura RDX in Chicago with 109,000 miles. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2020 Acura RDX in Chicago, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “clunk when changing from reverse to drive,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
