So... no one else feels this shudder? Could it be tire balance related? Any assist/response is appreciated. Thanks!

Just got my cx7 2 weeks ago and recently I noticed the klanking sound when start the engine after a overnight parking. Basically I do every morning is to back up from the garage, when I shif the gear in to "R", here goes the first Klank, the second klank happened when the gear shift from 1st to 2nd during initial driving. I scheduled a service call to bring in the vehicle for a check up tomorrow, I will report anything after they check tomorrow.

If your's is an AWD model it could be an early build with the drive shaft issue. There is a TSB out on this issue but it only effects early builds on AWD models.

Thanks for the reply,mine is a FWD 07 model. I brought in the car this morning and the service adviser told me that he has other 3 cars with exactly the same problem and they tried to replace some component on one of them but did not solve the noise problem. Later on he explained to me that consider all the vehicle has this sound, he consider it normal on all cx7 to have this sound when engaging transmission to R or during the first shift from 1st to 2nd gear when cold start.I guess they are totally out of loop at this moment about how to adjust the problem at this time. I also brought up that the angle of the driver side light is lower than the passenger side so I request them to check on it, the adviser told me that its normal to have the driver side light aim a little bit lower than the passenger side since they are trying to avoid the strong beam shooting into opposite direction, does this make sense?">link title

Yes, the angle of the headlights being different is normal. There are already posts on this.
The ABS does a self-test at a certain mph in both forward and reverse; it is unrelated to the transmission shifting, but often appears to be about at the 1-2 shift point. I hadn't heard about the driveshaft TSB, but the ABS noise is a normal happening, and sounds like a clunk from the engine bay. There are posts on this, too.

Got back the car yesterday, apparently the dealer did find an article from mazda's service support database to advise that clunk was due to ABS test, the article also suggest them not to attempt any kind of repair to it. I just hope they are right about this.

Push the warranty issue. If they claim the "klank" is "normal", and not to fix it, then get it in writing. If the klank will indeed NOT harm the tranny NOR affect the performance, then I suppose you can live with it. My gut feeling tells me otherwise, though.
Me? I've got 30K miles on mine, bought it in June 2006 and I DON'T have that noise. So, I'm not willing to say it's normal.
Hope all works well for you! Vince.

Well, guess you'll have to journey out to Leesburg, VA and see for yourself!
