hey

I bought my 05 3 days ago with 16k miles from the dealer. i JUST posted an introduction and mentioned this noise without even noticing this thread. Its annoying when I'm at a drive-thru too. When you depress the clutch and shift into all gears...its loud. Like its transforming. It also has a random 4th gear grind at high rpms.

I will update you what MY dealer says on Saturday.

hm... I live in Tampa, FL... maybe I should go over there and have them check out. seems like a good dealer.

Guys... heres a suggestion: post the sounds/vid of the problem up on Youtube so that we can see to what extent your problem is. I plan on doing this soon.

completely normal. Every brand new rx8 on the dealer lot will do it too.

People are reading into posts too much and assuming the worse.
