Does anyone hear a bit of a clunk from the back of the car from what appears to be the diff or axles when trying to shift into 1st from neutral at a standstill? The sound is most obvious if trying to get into gear quickly immediately after pressing the clutch when he input shaft of the gearbox is still rotating. If you wait a couple of seconds till the input shaft stops you dont hear the sound. The sound also occurs if trying to get into 2nd from neutral at a standstill.
