When I go from reverse to drive or drive to reverse, the right axle clicks pretty loud. Any idea what this may be? It doesn't click when I turn or when I'm driving the car. Just in the parking lot when I'm shifting.

1988 Civic LX Automatic.

Thanks.

 

The automatic is what got me. My manual clicks into reverse sort of. Are you positive its the axle and not the trans?

 

It's in that area. I really don't know if it is the transmission or axle. How would I check?

 

My 91 did this when I bought it, too much slack in the joint itself on the passenger side, replaced the axle, and all is well.

 

Thank you. I will pull it and check for excessive play.
