Default Buyer Question: Transmission

Hey everyone. I'm potentially going to be buying a 2010 ISF this upcoming week. The car has 100km or 60mi on it and I had a question about the transmission.

While I was test driving it on the highway, I was doing about 150km/h and sitting at about 4000-4500 RPM and when I would down shift, the transmission was super quick, but it would kick you forward and almost make a clunking/clicking noise.

I am having a hard time explaining the feeling/noise, but I want to ask if anything else has experienced the same thing while downshifting at higher RPM's.

Please let me know!

I am guessing you downshifted and then gave it more gas which probably caused the car to hit the rev limiter.

Down shifting in my car with a higher rpm hasn't resulted in any type of clunking sound or ackward feeling until you hit the gas and it pins you to the seat lol

One of those numbers is wrong, or you were already in a lower gear.
I was just thinking that as well, unless he was in like 4th gear.... which idk why he would be downshifting in that low of a gear anyway
