When I stopped at a light, could hear the fan, then when I started driving I hear a "clunk" and the car jerks, just like when I accelerate quickly to merge onto the freeway. Engine temp is fine. Also my old level was down 2.5 qts but see no oil stains on the driveway.
Help! What might be the problem?

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

With out being able to test drive this problem, I will start with the transmission as I have a feeling that the problem may be there, first check the transmission oil level, check that is is red and not smelling burnt. Have the transmission & engine mounts check for wear and I would get a transmission specialist to test drive this with you and get his opinion, start here.
