    Nothing unusual about a small amount of gear whine. One thing you might want to consider is adding a bit more oil to the gearbox because from the factory they only come with 1.8L, when I first got mine I added 1L then when I drained it on the 6 month service I filled it with 3L.

    The clunk don't know maybe a engine mount or something is a bit loose. Maybe check all the engine mounts and suspension bolts and make sure there tight. I did this with mine when I first got it, didn't find any loose but worth checking anyway

    Since you have an aftermarket exhaust,did you check if it is secured properly?Could be the reason why it makes a cluck noise when going over bumps.
