Hi guys,

I picked up a 2012 Gran Turismo sport auto yesterday (normal auto gearbox) and have noticed when shifting between park, neutral, drive, reverse I can hear the transmission physically moving between the selections, especially if I have the window down. The car runs perfectly fine, no warning lights or anything but just wondered if hearing the gearbox working is normal?

48k miles, one owner from new, FMSH

It is not a crunching noise or anything like that, just a tinny mechanical sound of the selector moving about

Maybe I am being over concerned but the car before this was an M5 where everything was silent.

Thanks

i have a QPV GTS
ZF gearbox.
i to have the selector click.
normal sound.

has the car had a gearbox service yet?
a stamped service history is no indication that the gearbox has been serviced,
from personal experience, a stamp even from a 'top end' dealer can mean that only an engine oil/filter has been done...

Thanks for the reply, I am having the car looked at tomorrow but the place said on the phone it sounds like the gearbox actuator is rubbing on the exhaust.

I dont believe it has had the gearbox serviced and will look to get this done in the coming months

Thanks
