Slipping sound during acceleration
I got some slipping sound during acceleration. It comes from the left front side mostly. Normally, it happens when the car has been running for a while.
When I let go the gas it goes away. What could be the problem? I am now suspecting a loose engine mount.

Slipping sound? :eh: Like metal on metal?
I've heard of clunking, banging, clapping, clacking, thumping, rumbling, rubbery and stiff...but slipping? :chuckles:
Color me confused.

It is really like some metal parts slipping against each other.

and you generally cannot hear an automatic transmission slip. give me a little time to think about this.

I am thinking of two clues:
1) It is accleration-related. Since when I let go the gas it goes away.
What parts are engaged when I step on gas pedal and then disengaged
when gas pedal released?
-drive shafts?
-gears (the car is automatic)?
-CV boots were replaced not too long ago, at that time, the CV joints
were okay. CV boots still fine, not leaking oil
-brake pads, rotors replaced
-engine mount?
-cylinder/ spark plug not firing?
2) It has to do with heat.
Normally, it happens when the car has been running for a while. After I let
the car sit for a few hours or overnight, the problem went away
-the problematic part expands and "slips" against another part
-it sounds and feels like cog wheels sliding against each other abnormally
