    1st gear quickly opening n shutting the throttle noticed a bang from the gearbox nothing major but l've had a few rr8 onwards and never noticed it before, is this the norm?? ......as anyone else noticed similar?
    Didn't try it in any other gear.

    Just a thought, it could be the slipper clutch?

    sounds more like the dogs on the gears meshing when you throttle off and the gearbox unloads.

    not sure how/why it's the slipper clutch?
