Guys,
I've been noticing since i got my car that it is a bit noisier in 3rd than it is in any other gear. It's a kind of whining noise and only seems to be there in 3rd, no other gear.
The shifts are smooth, the car runs fine but am just not sure if i should be worried about this noise. It has occasionally made a mechanical ticking when in 1st at low speeds when stuck in traffic etc that rises with engine rpm and sounded like it may have been from the gearbox too but i haven't heard it often enough to pinpoint yet..
Any ideas, anything to worry about?
Cheers
Al
