Transmission noise
Hi all,
Finally picked up my Rx8 yesterday. I love the car! I'm glad to report that I don't have the much dreaded gas mileage problem some of you have experienced. So far, the mileage is at an acceptable level. However, I do notice that there is loud bang noise occasionally when I shift into the first gear at a stop. Is this normal? Other than the noise, I don't feel anything wrong with the shfter. In fact, I think it's quite smooth.

I experience the same sound. (Sometimes loud, sometimes more quiet, sometimes not at all)
In a different thread, somebody said that it is the ABS performing a self-test, but at the same time they mentioned that it is done at 4-5 mph and not while standing. (They also mentioned that there a reference to it in the users manual – maybe so, but not in the Hungarian one)
Nevertheless, I have the impression that it is not coming from the tranny because I experience this particular sound while shifting.
In my car there is more than 20k miles, so the car is well broken in.
