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 Last edited by Rahul718; 05-08-2016 at 10:54 PM. |

Completely normal, my G37 did it as well. Once you figure out exactly what makes it happen (letting off the gas and pushing the clutch in immediately IIRC) you can alter your driving style slightly if it really bothers you

Why does this happen only in first? My only experience is with much older clutches (manual linkage, throwout bearing, &c) and I can't think of a reason the clunking would only happen in a certain gear.

My car does that also and it is usually at low speed with the throttle off.
Your explanation seems reasonable. Quote:

hmmmmm That would lead me to believe that there is too much "slack" or "windup" somewhere - eg, engine/trans mounts. Might be fixable. YMMV
