I came here to ask a question about a "clunk" noise when going moving stick from Neutral to first.
- In Neutral
- Depress clutch
- As soon as I begin to move gearstick forward and it leaves the neutral position (not in 1st yet, just beginning to head there) there's a "thunk" like a solenoid has been setoff. Very quick. Sounds like its coming from under car, gearbox area.
People have described a similar sound when releasing the clutch in 1st gear, but I think I know that noise, same on my old MX-5 manual. My noise is as soon as I exit the neutral position, like I've setoff a sensor which is engaging something electromechanically.
Is this the same noise or different? Thanks all.
To me it's the same noise. I also had an MX5 and that done the same!
