I thought that was so funny...

I told the mechanic about my problem:
When I push back down on the clutch trying to go to 2nd from 1st or just trying to keep it in 1st gear cuz I'm almost coming to a complete stop, he was like "Oh! That's called intermittent clanking and all the 370's are like that.."

***silence***

and then I had nothing to say...


LOLZ.. pretty funny... you can't make this stuff up!
I experience a similar sound with my 7AT. However, I would describe it as more of a clinging sound and can only hear it when the drivers side window is down. Will have it checked at the next service.
