Clunk when going into reverse.

[gabbman]

Is the clunking sound when going into reverse normal ? I have a 2013 Se5 and it clunks when I put it in reverse or go from neutral to 1st. It doesn't do it when I'm moving and shifting through the other gears.

Yes, all five of mine have done it. That first shift of the day always seems to be the loudest.

Normal.

Relax and ride :yes:

Mine produces a high pitched shine when backing out of the garage. No clunk though. It is obviously normal, but I can't figure out why it does that.

Here's the thing..!!

When going into first or revese your engaging an idle transmission after which all the gears are active and the shift are smooth. Most do it but the big twins are more noticeable...but it is normal...:thumbup:

:agree: It's about as "Norbal" as it gets...

The first time mine did it it scared the hell out of me but I've learned it is indeed normal

Rockwall has a 2012 so cold clutch shudder should not be an issue unless the clutch has been replaced.

Benefits of Lurking

I'm preaching to the choir but, one of the biggest benefits of this web site is what a prospective buyer can learn from the experiences of Spyder owners. The issue of clunking into reverse or first from neutral was one of a host of things I learned of before I ever started dealing for my Spyder, so the day I drove off with it I knew it was perfectly normal. From many one learns a lot!

The clunk on the spyder is mild compared to the sound my friends harley makes.

:agree: Some of them can sound like a tray full of clay pots, getting pitched down the cellar steps! :shocked:

Also a good salesman. Bob (my saleman) told me about the clunk from neutral to reverse or first before I did a test drive.
