Why is my Ford S-Max's transmission making a clunking noise?

Lately, I've noticed my Ford S-Max's transmission is making a loud clunking noise when I shift gears. It only happens randomly and seems to be getting worse. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

Hi Sarah, it sounds like you may have an issue with your transmission's mounts or gears. It's best to take it to a mechanic for a thorough inspection before it gets any worse. In the meantime, try not to shift gears too quickly or put unnecessary strain on the transmission.

I had the same problem with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a faulty valve body. It's a known issue with this model so I recommend taking it to a Ford dealership to have it replaced under warranty. Don't wait too long though, as it can cause further damage to the transmission.
