Is it normal to hear that click when shifting from 1 to 2 gear? I am not very used to the car's transmission yet but I can hear a metal click when i shift from 1 to 2. It still jerks at a start a bit when I try to drive normally too. I am just not used to it yet.

 

Yea, the transmissions in these cars are definitely not the most refined . Very NOISY! You'll hear a dam orchestra when you're in line at a fast food joint ...lol.

 

yeah thats normal

 

I hear ya! I come of 335i coupe and If the noisy transmission is the only problem with my G I can live with it.
I guess, it is all a matter of how quickly I will adjust to it. It makes me feel I suck at driving manual.

 

I here it all the time, pain in the ars.

When I stop at red lights and let go to press the gas I thought it was the rear pads but nope. I throw it in reverse then drive, without pressing the gas and click! clank!

 

yes.. mine clicks every once in awhile... but 1 thing that is really starting to **** me off is... 1st gear whines EVERY SINGLE TIME im in it...

 

Atleast you can drive. I just bearly learned to drive a manual car recently and the transistion from an old geo metro to the g37 was insane. Hoping I get used to it the more i drive it.

 

Its called character!

 

I can sometimes hear a click when I have the windows rolled down. I used to hear a metal ping (like hitting a golf ball with a metal driver) when I shifted from 1 -> 2. There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) on torquing something in the transmission down tighter which resolves the pinging sound.

Just want to clarify if you have a click sound or a ping sound.

 

every now and then
