^^^ Sorry, but AT sux! Back to the topic, I guess I havent really noticed any clunking noise in mine? Or maybe just I'm oblivious about it.

Have any of you taken it to the dealer? If so, did they say it is normal? I think I am going to have them look into it when I get my oil change done. That way it is at least on record in case it is something else.

Thanks bro. That definitely makes me feel better. I'll mention it to them when I get my oil changed, probably in the next couple of weeks. Just to be safe.

Yeah I mentioned it because if something ever happens to my clutch, they have a record of me complaining twice.

What sounded like a bad throw-out bearing turned out that the G consumed nearly 4 qts of oil over a 2 month span. Either way, if damage had occurred, it's already done. In my case, the dealer added oil for me and all was good. No more noise and the car is still pulling strong. However, the question is why the car is eating that much oil. Based on searches, they say piston seals. But I dunno. Sorry this is starting to lean off-topic. Moral of the story is to check out engine oil first, then throw-out bearing. Even then, the dealer may say its normal. =(


how would one check the piston seals? i would love to tear apart my engine and check things and replace etc....


has anyone ever done it? this isn't like any honda either which a lot of people have messed with and done diy etcs.

sorry for going off topic etc. but yea i get the chattering too no worries... sometimes my car sounds like its going to blow up after a hard drive...

Well in my case it happens for a little bit right when I start up my car. Then after 10-15 minutes, it goes away.

This noise is really getting on my nerves. *sigh* Why does an almost $40k car make these kind of noises?
