I drive in really heavy traffic on the interstate every day and typically run 8 or so in 2nd. When the speed picks up I can use very light throttle until I reach about 2k and can then dip into the throttle like normal without hearing it. If get heavy on it it will make a bunch of racket for a second until it reaches 2k. Then the traffic grinds to a halt and I’m engine braking back to 8mph again. Hahaha.
I’m in a 2013 so I have the old FD.
It’s normal for our strange car.
Edit: On the way into work this morning I paid more attention to how low I am running and I will run it as low as 1K in 4th and can still pull out of it without any racket as long as I am very light on the throttle. I'm in stop and go so it isn't like I'm trying to accelerate quickly. In normal casual driving without traffic I shift around 2800 and I can run heavy throttle this way without it making a bunch of noise.
