Answer
Hi Raymond,

Sounds like a gearing that is about to fail and is being worn down. It happens only from a stop...this sounds more like a differential or CV joint problem.  Next time you use your Rangie, as you slowly move the vehicle...turn the wheel and listen for clunking or crunching sounds.  If so, then its the CV joint.  

Its quite possible that the brake cable may be causing the problem too!

Best of luck,
