Right you can feel it not really hear it. Just like a very minor hesitation when light part throttle from the stop at approx 1800 rpms. almost like there is a slight pullback on the throttle. I think its just the clutch on the SC engaging. Most wouldn't even notice it but i notice every little bump burp or hickup the car makes. under moderate throttle or fullthrottle i never notice it. Thats the reason i just assume its the SC clutch engaging.
But i never really hear any noise accociated with it. Its more of a feel. Under such light load the extra drag on the crank from the SC is enough to actually feel like a slight hesitation for a split second.
