Hi Guys,
I just wanted to know if this is normal behavior.
I have a 2022 JTRMT with 9K miles, and ever since I got it I noticed that sometimes when shifting gears clutching in and out, it makes a kind of clunking noise underneath, I suspect something is going on with the trans, I have an appointment with the dealership and they will check it, but before I do, I wanted to check with the owners of manual transmission if they are experiencing this type of issue.

the only clunking noise i've ever noticed in mine (22 JTMMT) is a clunking if you disengage the clutch while off power in 1st (imagine a bumper-to-bumper traffic crawl). I've found this can be avoided by not using 1st to engine brake, and coasting in neutral when you take your foot off the gas in 1st.

It doesn't happen in any other gear (i'm a consumate heel toe revmatch downshifter, so i disengage off power quite often from 5->4, 4->3, and occasionally 3->2)

One man's click is another man's clunk. These vehicles are known to have a lot of drivetrain lash, which is more pronounced in lower gears.

I used to have some funny noises when shifting in low gear (maybe clunks) but it's sounded great since getting the clutch recall. Did you get that done yet?
