I just got a ‘24 OR MT and on most downshifts there’s an audible, almost grinding like noise. Does anyone else have this issue? Is it normal?

I don’t have that issue, definitely not normal.

I feel really stupid typing this out but it turns out it was actually just the engine noise from the auto rev match when iMT is on….i guess I didn’t expect a 4 cyl. to have any kind of rumble.

Hah, it might just be the simulated engine noise. But the auto rev matching is definitely a nice feature. Almost feels like cheating to a certain degree. Have it on my GT4 and love it. Just spoils you when you drive other manuals, sometimes you'll forget to give it gas on downshifts :LOL:

Haha yeah definitely the fake engine noise. I was actually surprised it had auto rev match. Always felt like that was something for p cars and up.
