Lately i've been experiencing this weird clunking sound. It is very faint when u first start driving the car, but progressivly gets louder and more apparent as the drive continues. It happens when i am just starting to give it gas from a standstill. (automatic) Just as you step on the gas, i'll hear a clunk, as if something is shifting or is loose. The same sound is apparent when i slow to a stop too, almost when i am at a dead stop.

At first i thought it was a transmission problem, since a couple of days ago when i was gettin my tires changed, my car was leakin red fluid, which i assumed to be tranny fluid. I was gonna take it into the dealer friday, but they gave me the runaround and said they were too busy and that i'd hafta come back next week. so today saturday i took it to a mechanic that i occasionly go to. He barely drove the car and barely noticed the sound and said it's gotta do with lowering the car. he couldn't help me much cuz he was busy and also said to come back next week

I kno that when u lower ur car ur cv boots will start to rip and stuff...and eventually ur cv joints go. but you would hear ticking and stuff when u turn. but my problem is from a standstill goin in a straight line. Any ideas?
