bump for irratic horn beeping issues lol

The clunking is probably related to your metal shavings in your diff. Transmission usually dont clunk, They make other parts clunk. The only real thing you have to look out for with an auto is if its getting hot, or it slips. Otherwise theres not much to break on them

And I have no idea on the horn, I didnt realize the horn had anything to do with the ignition...Never heard of thise before.

A clunk when you put it in drive means that one or more U Joints have gone. They are still there just the little pins have worn out. Be careful though as Ive had my universals changed before and the shop that did the work claims they put it together right and the driveshaft vibrated even after turning it one quarter turn till it was back around again. There are no machine shops here that can balance a driveshaft so Im on my third used one. The first one got screwed when the shop changed the center bearing and one of the yokes.
As for the horn see if its the one thats mounted on the firewall behind the cruise control.Thats the one thats tied into the alarm. I don't beleive the ignition switch is tied into the system except for getting disabled for cranking but you never know, just see which horn it is and disconnect it on the firewall if thats the one honking and you will still have your regular horn. The door locks are the ones that usually go bad for the alarm system.

Do you have an alarm on it. If so could be your alarm system. Mine has an alarm and when set the horn blows non stop no matter how you open car. Only goes off once key is in ignition and switched on.

The low oil pressure is cause either your pump is starting to go, or your bearings are worn out. Although my n/a was at 0 at times and went up to almost 40 going down the highway, And it ran fine. Check your oil also. And its a good idea just to pull a diagnostic anyways.

does the check engine light come on when ur car is thowing a code? or will it show problems when the light is not on?
