Question Clunking noise when shifting

I purchased a 02 GS3 about 2 weeks ago and never noticed any kind of clunking noise when shifting into gear until last night. Anyone have any idea what it could be? It doesnt make that clunking noise all the time. I sat in my garage for about 10 mins just shifting gears from P to R, P to D, and R to D and vise versa and only heard the clunk every once in awhile. Anyone evr had the same problem and were you able to find a fix for it? thanks in advance

Sound like you need a tranny flush. that is a sign of worn tranny fluid. Swich it out to Amsoil, and i bet you won't feel a thing
