Sorry to bring a thread back from the dead, but I notice the same thing in my car I just purchase. I am just wondering if anybody else who had this happening had any transmission problems since the first posts.
|
Nice job following up. I have had no subsequent transmission trouble. I think a previous poster was correct when they said it is a free spinning shaft coming to a halt.
|
Glad I found this. I have the same thing on a 2010 s2. I do have a habit of letting out the clutch in neutral at lights so the explanation sounds right to me
|
Ya same here just purchased an 06 shinka very same issue. Weird to experience the first time with a manual. Feels like your putting it in drive with an auto. Thanks for the info. I guess we will just have this to the "character" of the 8. She's an odd one but I love her.

This is called "cocking", just like a M16 but with the rx8 lol, getting ready to fire!!
It's joking, its normal, or u can press the clutch for a bit 5-10s as it was said previously in this same thread. Happy driving! |
what if you feel through all the gears
Hello guys just had a quick read at the first few pages.
I am a new owner of a 2006 rx8 . I work away and my wife is driving the car she informs me that she is feeling this subtle transfer of energy through the gears not just first gear . Is this normal too .?....she describes it like a small thunk feeling when changing gears going from the clutch to the accelerator many thanks for any replies Kevin |
The donk/thump sound comes from back side from every gear when i put it from Neutral. is it normal? or there is some thing wrong in the differential or shaft? There is no Clunk noise, just a bass Thump/ Donk noise. Even if my car is Off, when i press the clutch and put it in any gear from neutral, i hear this from the back. Any ideas guys?

Try this... with the car running in neutral and your foot off the clutch, depress the clutch and quickly shift to first. Car tries to move a little and you hear a small clunk right... it's the syncro doing its job which is to make the input shaft match the speed of the output shaft. This transmits a very small amount of energy to the output shaft and consequentially the rear wheels when the input shaft is suddenly stopped from moving. Now with the car running in neutral, depress the clutch and count to 10. In the time it takes you to slowly count to 10, the input shaft will come to a stop on its own. Now shift the car into first. No movement right? It's because while the clutch pedal was depressed the input shaft stopped and wasn't suddenly stopped from spinning by the syncro, it was already stopped when you shifted into gear. |
