Cayenne Manual Transmission experince
Hi ! A very long time BMW owner recently bought a V6 Cayenne with Manual 6 speed transmission. I have been driving manuals all my life and predominately BMWs so I am used to the BMW gearbox fill.
Cayenne is totally differently - so far I am struggling to drive it smoothly in 1st/2nd/Reverse. Still getting used to the clutch a bit - but the shifter action is something I wanted to inquire. There is no grind -but the action is quite notchy and accompanied with audible mechanical "clunking". My prior cars (BMWs) had some of it - but overall mechanical shifting noise was very much muted.
I took it by the dealer and had a tech drive it - said clutch is good and its normal.
So the question to the forum - any other similar experiences? Would a fluid change significantly help? Or its just different and I will get used to it?

Hello Schernov.
If you haven't done so already, i would suggest the fluid change. I have a 2011 Cayenne 6sp manual and I don't have any of the "clunking" sounds when shifting gears. It's usually buttery smooth through all 6 gears for me.
Hope this helps!
