2023 Acura Integra — clunk when changing from reverse to drive

TowShopperCommunity StarterMay 7, 20262023 Acura Integra A-SpecWashington DC
2023 Acura Integra A-Spec, about 61,500 miles. There is a single clunk when changing direction at low speed, especially reverse to drive. No vibration while cruising. What would you inspect first: mounts, driveshaft play, differential mounts or CV joints? I would rather test this logically than replace parts.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2023 Acura Integra, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2023 Acura Integra in Washington DC with 61,500 miles. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2023 Acura Integra in Washington DC, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “clunk when changing from reverse to drive,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2023 Acura Integra before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. That's the whole play. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2023 Acura Integra owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. That's the sequence I'd use. I'd rather be boring and correct. If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.
