Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced an occasional clonk when changing from 2nd in to 3rd I've not noticed it before, however using the shift assist it changes smooth with no clonk!?
I did change the oil last week and used Motul 7100 15w -50 fully synthetic so its not like I've put a crap oil in which may have caused it.
Thanks in advance.

Forgive me for asking this. You wrote "clock", do you mean you hear a "clunk" or a "click" ?

Hi, Ha ha, good old predictive text! I actually wrote clonk further down( now edited)it's not as smooth going into 3rd as the other gears.
