Sort of but the drive shaft is always "connected" to the tranny. There are a whole bunch of things between the engine and the wheels in a RWD. When you go in gear they all have to sort of realign. That is what you hear. Not sure how waiting a second makes any difference though since there is no pressure on all those bits until you let out the clutch (see edit). You will hear all sorts of weird noises in these cars since there is only paper thin soundproofing.


Edit: Ya Extra nailed it. I was presuming that you were already stationary for a bit when you were letting the clutch out so the shaft had already stopped.
