Your dead right there Chunky regarding knowing what certain noises are. Very few car nuts are aware of multi plate clutch rattles?. I guess it's because one does not hear it too many times on the street.
When in the pits at race events it's a very common sound.

The same thing applies to top end gear boxes.
I very nearly had RCMs sequential box put in mine but it would have produced a constant loud whining noise & driven me nuts on long runs.
Mind you it's a babe of a box just pulling it back every time to change up & banging it forward to change down.
My car does need one to be honest. You live on the box when driving Harry Flatter's with 560 Bhp & it's VERY easy to select the wrong gear when down shifting!!
