Loving my "new to me" Raptor R. It was my Christmas present to myself. 11k miles.
I've been experimenting with the different drive modes. I've noticed that when I am in sport mode, I will occasionally hear a "clunck" sound when the engine is downshifting after a rapid acceleration. I feel the "clunck" at slower speeds, like maybe when it downshifts from 3rd to 2nd, lets say. At first I thought it was the popping sound from the exhaust, which is definitely more pronounced in sport mode, but after multiple times feeling/hearing this, it feels more like its in the transmission. Is this a normal sound yall have heard while in 4A? Not sure if I should be concerned.

Thanks, Albert.

Albert - pics of this new beast you bought are mandatory, otherwise default consensus is you are a Prius owner who is trolling. I went through the same initiation.
