Ok, so I'm a newb to driving a manual. The sounds are a little different than the ones I'm used to on an auto. My question is about a sound that resemblems something whining. Think of it like when you hear a 18-wheeler accelating from a stop or like a turbo sound. I'm not sure of its source but it happens when I am going slow in a low gear (1st, 2nd and 3rd). It's not there when I'm idle and I think it gets quieter at high speed. I took it in to the dealer and they had a tech drive it with me and he said that it was normal and that because I put in an aftermarket shifter it was just more noise than usual getting inside the cabin. Just need some assurance I think.
Mine sounds just like that. I believe it's most likely a characteristic of the transmission. And mine also got a little bit louder after I put the shifter in too. It's been making that noise since day one so I'm not concerned :SNSign:
Cool, thanks. I guess I was just noticing it more because lately I haven't been driving around with the radio on. It's livable if it's normal
