Maybe I should do some more hard launches!
It's hard to tell exactly what the issue was without inspection or having seen/heard it beforehand. Glazing would explain what you describe though, especially if the installer didn't properly clean the mating surfaces.

Friction is energy trying to transfer and some of it is spent as heat, some as sound. It would make sense if there was inadequate friction that there would be a very short action of engagement and noise while slipping.

Hope it keeps on working for you!
