I have had my 2007 Civic Automatic for 15 mths now. It makes a slight grinding noise when I put it into the Drive gear. It does this from Park to Drive and from Reverse to Drive. I took the car in to the dealer and the mechanic said the 2006/07 models have a different engine than previous generations, that I have to drive/shift gears slowly, not like before. I have consciously slowed down my shifting but it still makes this noise. My boyfriend heard the noise too. It makes this noise even after the car has warmed up, at full tank of gas, at low tank of gas. This is my 4th Civic and I've been driving for over 20 years. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
