I just bought an EVO 8 5days ago, and learned to drive stick.

accordingly, I had some problem of getting stalled, and grind some gears,

anyway, I hear strange metal tapping or lapping sound under my feet when I shift the gear from 1st to 2nd.

How about you guys?
is it seemed to be normal? or I already messed up with transmission? I am so worried.

tell me what's going on!!

i can here a clinging noise when i first release the clutch in first or reverse! i clanges a couple times! it did it on the test drive, they said gear clash, i say there lieing pieces' of crap!

Good christ you learned to drive stick on a brand new Evo?!! WTF were you thinking!!

im pretty sure this is the Decel nosie that everyone is talking about
i get it too sounds like a few rocks bouncing aroundin a metal tube or something.. hehe

So What should I do with it?

turn your sterio up and ignore it

But what if he stalls it when he can't hear the engine sounds, since his stereo is up?

Chan, if you are in doubt as to what that noice is, take the car back to the dealer and get it checked out. After all it is under the warranty and will cost you nothing.

ahh, ive done that once, just watch the revs when your going from a stop :P

and as for taking it to the dealer, sure it doesnt cost you anything money wise..

but it sure as hell costs a lot of time!
