The 'noise' is how the DCT works, nothing is wrong or malfunctioning. I have a Talon and I find the thing mechanically noisy to the point that I won't drive it without hearing protection, either muffs or foam ear plugs. If I forget the plugs, even with my helmet, I stop and put them in (I have a jar of 50 that live in the cup holder).
When I first got it, I thought - 'this doesn't sound right and won't last long term'. Now, with hearing protection, I feel it more than hear it and smile at the wizardry that makes the thing work so perfectly.
Background - I'm a mechanically sympathetic DIY, lifelong mechanic because - 1. I can't afford to pay others to do the maintenance. 2. I don't trust anyone to do it properly. 3. I have 13,3xxk miles with few problems, none with the DCT. I've been running the HP4 with moly for ~10k miles. The problems I've had - brake pads on all 4 corners, rear wheel bearings, and the LR inner CV joint.
To repeat, the shift click/klunk is how it works, worry about something else.
In colder temps, I recommend that you cover 'some' of your radiator, enough that the fan cycles regularly, ensuring that you're getting your oil up to operating temperature so that the condensation will burn off. If there's frost (water) on the outside of your engine, you can rest assured that there's also frost on the inside. The 1000 cc Talons and Pioneers don't like short runs that don't get the engine up to operating temperature, so try to always get it up to temp. If you don't, plug fouling is a possibility.
