Default DCCD-A clunks

Ok.......slippery road, booting it a bit, exiting a slow'ish uphil corner and as the diff obviously shifted some drive towards the front wheels, there's quite a clunk/bang......it does not sound very nice.

Is it normal?

Hmmm.....mine has done a bit of clunking in the past, but not when set in Auto.

In this instance it was different........imagine having a rear wheel drive car and then suddenly dropping a clutch to engage the front wheels......that's what it felt like.....not a progressive transfer of drive at all.

Wonder if Evo IX's do it??

Mine NEVER clonks when in Auto mode!

They may only do it when travelling at very slow speed with the diff fully open or one notch up.

Don't you mean with the diff locked? When open there should be NO noise at slow speed even when turning corners.

If the diff is locked or very nearly there then yes it will. With the diff fully open it wont.

When it does this try pulling up the hand brake by 1 notch to see if it switches the diff back to fully open as it should.

Mine does too, was paranoid at first but it seems normal. At high revs no problem but low revs and a bit of a clunk when I engage. Not even a clunk, just a noise when the drivetrain picks up really.
