Engine Noise
Maybe i'm obessive compulsive and go nuts about tiny details but just wondering when my 8 is idling and I depress the clutch it makes a different noise and sounds smoother, then when I let the clutch go the noise of the engine changes. Is this normal? No problems at all with the transmission or engine at all, been awesome, just curious. Car only has 600 miles. Thanks

It took almost 3 weeks.
Good news is that the noise we hear when we let the clutch out in neutral (throw-out) is gone...now quiet as can be.
John if you need help my dealer now is expert at this problem.
This has happened several times.....weak link
