Weird clunk/rattle on every start

[Trivo]

Best videos I could get , car drives fine otherwise but I can hear a clunk when starting the car and going in to second

I would check the motor mounts. That’s seems like a lot of engine movement on startup. Sounds like the plastic on the air intake vibrating against some rigid metal in the engine bay.

I’m not an expert and all i can do is guess. If taking it to the dealer to see what they think is free, then by all means.

If you have some time on your hands and a way to get the car up on jack stands safely so you can take a peek underneath the engine bay, that might be useful in a self diagnosis.

Maybe some bolts have loosened up a bit. Every bolt from the factory should have a blue line marked on it that would indicate whether it has moved.

I see that you have an aftermarket intake. Check and see if the intake has the potential to hit or rattle against anything at all. Remember, the motor moves a small amount during start-up and sometimes that can cause the intake to rattle against something like a shield just for a bit. I had that issue with a previous intake on my car where the intake tube would actually rattle against a heatshield upon startup.
