RE: 5 speed "clanking Noise"
You have a noisy differential, connected to a noisy 2-piece driveshaft, that's connected to an incredibly noisy transmission.
There's a fair amount of slop in the drivetrain on these cars (some have more than others).
That, combined with the drive-by-wire and poor throttle response can lead to some frustrating (and embarassing) shifts.
As you get more familiar with it (and it's attendant clunks, clanks, and pops) you'llget a good idea of whento feather the clutch to avoid most of those noises.

I get a "clank / clunk" too, but not from a driving shift. I could be just sitting there in N, shift into 1st and it makes a pretty loud clunk. The noise happens right when the gear hits, even before the clutch is let up. Is that normal?

RE: 5 speed "clanking Noise"
Are you pushing the clutch pedal all the way in?
I forgot I remember having a car with that problem, I had to shift another gear 2nd 3rd before moving the shifter to 1st to get rid of the problem.

yeah, definatley all the way. just the second the shift **** hits into the gear, it clunks pretty loud, then if I were to pull it back to N, and go back to the same gear the same way, there's no clunk.

RE: 5 speed "clanking Noise"
I get the same clunks in my car, except it happens when i am shifting gears. right when i push the clutch in ( power stoppign to trans) it makes a clank. Just extra space in the tranny right?
