370z and odd noises.

Yeah I have some shifting noises too.. it's most noticeable if you shift from 1st to 2nd in low speed, and you try to shift rapidly (stepping on the clutch quickly rather than slowly pressing it down). It makes a tractor-trailer truck-like shifting noise.

Ready for perfect noise description? It's goes "kaaaaaaaaaa-glunk! gah gah gah gah goo goo goo."

From the tonnes of posts I've read this seems 'normal' for the 370.. though I try to avoid making that noise in parking lots cuz people look at me like I can't drive stick lol

It'll never happen though if you give it a tiny bit more gas, step on the clutch all the way down, then slowly release it after you shift.
