Shifting "thunk" noise...
Hey folks, pleasure to be part of the community. I am learning a ton from reading everyone's posts and experiences and no I am not all going crazy slapping mods on the first week I got it. Still bone stock, coming up a year later (March). There is so much to learn about this car that its unreal and I am taking my time and learning as I go, anyhow...
I have an 06 MR and lately I have been noticing an audible "thunk" when i shift into new gears. I am not high reving it, I am not racing it (too hard, normal road crap, nothing too terrible), matter of fact I dont think I have ever had it over 6000rpm. I cant figure out if its a clutch issue or a transmission issue. I have been babying it lately and its been good, nothing in the past week, but still wanted to ask.
It normally happens when I shift around 4k rpm in the lower gears and when the higher gear catches, aka from 2-3 it "thunks" into place.
Its not normal and doesnt happen often, trouble is in a couple months I need to drive the Evo back to Maryland and I am curious if I should have it looked at before I go or just chalk it up to I am letting off the clutch too fast ? Or was it being a noob and driving it like crap when I first got it that the clutch is finally acting up.
Cheers,

just shift smoother, dont drop your clutch so fast when up-shifting and you wont ever hear that sound. It is just a thing you need to adjust your driving to eliminate, just take it a bit easier on the pull off when upshifting.
Happy boosting!
