How do I detect the problem for a clicking sound as I start the engine?

When I start the car it starts this short clicking sound, then it gets really loud within a minute, as I drive the car shakes a little with the loud sound that now shudders. It started out about 4 months ago, and it kept getting louder and louder. Someone believes it the auto trans, I believe it is something to do with the exhaust system some where...What do U think?

Try re-tension the spark plugs as if a slightly loose plug will make that sound and cause rough engine as the compression gas escapes past the seat especially on a taper seat plug

SOURCE: Transmission shudder

I had a similar problem on my 93 Accord after I accidentally threw the car in reverse at 50 mph, obviously wrecking the transmission. When I got it rebuilt I was told the transmission pump was to blame (clogged with "shrapnel"). I, and your car manual, recommend taking the car in to get the tranny looked at. Especially considering you just had the fluid changed which is what would normally cause the problems you are describing.

SOURCE: Car shakes when I start it

I'm no expert but it sounds like it could be a bad motor mount and since it's a 91 it could have rotted out cuz i know honda's have rubber in their motor mounts.

SOURCE: 08 accord ex-v6 auto. engine vibration @ idle in

I've got an 08 4cyl and it doesn't really have the vibration unless its really cold. Usually if I give it about 30 seconds...when the rpms start to come down, its barely noticeable.

SOURCE: screeching noise coming from engine...HELP!!!

No probably what your hearing is the belts slipping, they are probably getting oil on them from your leak and slipping.

Intermitent starting problems in my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Almost sounds like an injector heat-soak issue... However I'm wired on coffee and Monster at the moment. By not starting for a few days, do you try to start it several times in the interim, or do you just not touch it out of frustration for a few days? You should be able to check for heat-soak the next time it won't start after a drive by pouring a bottle of cool water over the injectors and down the fuel rail. Should cool off the injectors so they work properly again.

Have you checked to see if there are any codes coming from computer? With the key in the ignition, turn it from off to on three times (not all the way to start, ie crank the motor). So you go on-off-on-off-on-off then back to on and leave it there. The check engine light will flash a specific sequence. It may be handy to have a piece of paper in case there's multiple codes given. Basically what you do is count the flashes. They'll come in two-digit sequences, with the digits separated by a small pause. If there are multiple codes, they will be separated by a longer pause. So flash-flash-pause-flash-flash-flash paauuusssee flash-flash-flash-pause-flash-flash-flash would be a 23 and 33 respectively, if that makes sense.

This may help you with trouble-shooting, especially if the computer does give you some codes. Don't worry about Code 12 and Code 55, as 12 is battery/power disconnected within last 50 engine starts (or something like that), and 55 is end of message (ie, no more codes).

Edit**

Car won't start focus is clicking

I wonder if your battery is really in an excellent shape. The way you described seem to be non sufficient voltage for the starter solenoid to engage completely. Make a quick observaton by leaving the headlight on while cranking the engine. If no significant drop on the headlight brightness. Then your battery is assumed to be good. (a cold crank voltage shouldn't below 10V) Then the remained items to work with is either the solenoid or the starter or both. I believe the solenoid is piggy pack on the starter. Most autopart stores would test it for free of charge.
