Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Loud bang noise when I press in the clutch in 1st gear

Hey all, just want to know if this is normal. Sometimes when I'm in 1st gear and press the clutch in I'll hear a loud clunking noise. It definitely comes from the transmission area. It doesn't happen all the time and doesn't happen in any other other gear. It may very well be driver error as I might clutch in too fast and not slow enough. It's way worse when the car gets hot after being driven for some time but also happens on a colder car, just not as loud.

Normal for this car? Car is a 2014 Nismo. Thanks
