Clunky gear box

[Matt21]

Hi guys

Owned my CSL for a fortnight and love it. However, if in auto mode, which I rarely do by the way, it can make some rather loud clunking just before it changes down as I approach a roundabout at sensible speed.

Is this a characteristic of the gear box, or a developing fault?

if it doesn't do it in sport mode I would think it was ok,as you know it's not an auto box and does clunk a bit.

Early days of ownership syndrome my friend getting use to the mechanical nature of the SMG ... try using the Manual mode more and the clanking should subside. By all accounts it's the diff / drive train clattering about in disgust for being in AUTO mode . If in doubt, set it in S6 mode (DCT off) and give it some beans on a quite, open road. If it still persists after that and you're seriously concerned, speak to Emma @ Elms Cambridge and get it booked in with Gareth for a health check

Most likely backlash from the viscous diff....they all do it!
