    Gearbox graunching

    Hi, I bought an Aug 07 manual R8 with 5k miles on from a main dealer about a month ago. I love the car but I have experienced a problem changing gear a few times where the box makes 'graunching' noises like the clutch isn't disengaging properly. It is intermittent, and seems to be no particular gears - I think it has only been when downshifting (and not with too many revs). Has anyone else had similar?

    There is a service recall on a gearshift bush, maybe worth checking out
