Well yes but I think everyone was trying to break it gently.....

Could be the case, yes! And I’m fully expecting it as the next expense, so no need to be gentle with me :)

In fact I’m surprised it’s lasted this long since I purchased the car 4+ years ago.

They’re all extremely clunky, all single clutch vehicles of this age are noisy. R8 with r tronic would do the same, but I couldn’t hear anything unusual in the clip.
Things is it wasn’t this noticeable before - only recently it came to my attention - and I’m hyper sensitive to any changes in my car ($$$ in my eyes!)

To be clear: do you only notice when slowly manouevring back and forwards? How about on the open road? Cornering? I'd say it's standard F1 box chunter, maybe with a worn or badly set up clutch.

I've not heard of a bad diff or box yet from a GT as they are/were quite over-engineered

I’ve listened to it and I know the sound you are concerned about, it is normal and yes I understand why you might have been concerned.
