Just to add to this one, when it's time to change your transmission fluid (if manual), if you go with Motul, in that same condition you will here noticeable gear noise that will go away if you push the clutch in or put the car in gear. Don't freak out that something went wrong.

Just like any race car, the trick isn't hearing a weird noise to know something is wrong, it's just hearing a weird noise that wasn't always there.
