Hi all,
Spent a wonderful Saturday with many of my friends in the Illinois club on our fall cruise. I put about 200 miles on the car that day.
Due to the speeds we were driving I spent a fair amount of time in 5th gear. I noticed as the day wore on, I noticed a different sound coming from the transmission in 5th gear only. I dont remember hearing this sound previously but I really havent spent much time in 5th either. It wasn't a whine, but more of a "pre" growl. the noise if left alone would develop into a growl. I can begin to hear it at about 2k rpm's in fifth, and becomes less noticeable when the revs get way up.
I hear this noise only in 5th, no other gears. I have plenty of warrany left so I am not worried about the expense if it requires a swap. Anyone else have similar experiences? My car has 6500 miles on it and is an '04.
thanks
