I get it a lot in first in my shared driveway its down hill so its very jerky if you are going on and off the throttle and sounds like the tranny is clunking around. I think these cars were built less for refinement and more for taking a beating so at times they are bit crude but I love it.

I've notice the clattering noise in mine as well usually when I engage the clutch I brought it up to the service folks when I went n for my first service.. they said sounds fine... but it is weird to hear the clatter when you push the clutch in...

I hate this when I am leaving the lot at work (strict 5 MPH rule) the car is lurching and the knocking... not to many people are out when I am leaving...
thank goodness I've already been through the "do you even know how to drive a stick"
when I first got the thing! anyhow... glad to know I am not the only one that just kind of slithers down in the seat and feels a little shy!
