I have my car for 10 days and notice while releasing the throttle at low speed (jam or parking manoeuvre) a "light" but definitively present clong from underneath the car. It is difficult to ear if it is coming from the front (gearbox) on the rear (diff).
Is this normal? Do other owners have that?
Thanks

Yes, it says so in the manual! (Transmission clunk)

Thanks edb49
I do not have the manual so far except the PDF one on the website.
I should get it this week by mail.

Well, i didnt noticed any special 'clang' because actually all cars with a beefed driveline make the same 'noice' when releasing the throttle with the gear engaged...it's also, on my opinion, an iussue of weight. You won't find it on lightweight performant cars (i dont have it on my griffith for example, but i had it on my cayenne S...)
