Try another dealer in your area...where are you ....

birmingham, england not soung right to you then?

try another dealership. You probably shouldn't have a 'knocking' sound coming from the gearbox. Is it an automatic?

Definitely not right. It should be very smooth. It's a little noisy in a rattle sort of way but no knocking and definitely not lumpy.

+1 for another dealer. Or take them out with you on a test drive and make sure they feel what you are feeling.

as others posted, def not normal that dealer sux that u went to
