I have the same prob... I think it is because my handbrake is rooted(doesnt actually work) and thre car 'leans' on the tranny (my great explanation) I parked on a steep hill the other day(facing down) and when I went to put it in reverse it went clunk... I think u might have the same problem BLN68U... Any ideas how to fix or how much...im outta warranteee

It sounds like the car is riding on the parking pawl inside the transmission.

When you stop your vehicle to park it you should ensure the park brake is fully engaged, then release your brake pedal BEFORE selecting the P position of your auto selector.

PS I drive a manual and EVEN I know that is what you're supposed to do!!

Yeah, your handbrake isn't working and when you put it in P the auto is acting as the handbrake. Will be hard to get out of P on hills.

Get your handbrake adjusted by someone who knows what they're doing (hopefully your Ford dealer?) BA handbrakes are crap, I don't use mine unless I park on a hill.
