    Welcome to the forum mate. Is that a manual you have ? shouldn't crunch, mine doesn't (manual). I did however didn't like the feeling it gave shifting gears when I just got the car but that was all gone when a shortshifter was installed.

    I just done 17k too but have been using a short shifter since maybe last year or so. I thought it felt like I was not pressing in clutch far enough. But didn't make crunching noises.
