Question: Knocking noise when put into gear

Question

When the car is in Park, there is no noise. In any other gear, it starts making a rattling/knocking noise. Any ideas what this might be?

    Sounds like some kind of an issue in the transmission. When you take it out of park (or neutral, I bet...), you engage the input shaft to the output shaft of the transmission.

    Perhaps also check the tail housing of the transmission. The bushing at the back could be worn too. If this happens, you could have noise.

    The car only has 27,000 miles on it. Wow, transmission? Thanks for the quick response.
