Just got my new GT. Is it normal for this transmission to whine in 2nd and 3rd gear when accellerating? Kinda sounds like a blower..

Plus at 65 mph in 5th i get a whine.

Any input? thank you
 
I noticed immediately that the manual transmissions made noise. I've been used to front-drive, four-popping, euro cars before, so this was new to me.

I drove several Stangs with 5 speeds - they all sounded the same.

Actually, I kind of enjoy the noise.

With that said, none of us has actually heard the sound. You can always go by the dealer and drive a similar car, or have the shop forman give it a listen on a test drive...

You think the 05 GT is loud....... try the Tremec T-56 in an 03/04 Cobra with an aftermarket shifter LOL, you need stingers just to drown it out :nice:
 
i dont really leave my car in second gear to much so couldnt say for sure . but most cars i have driven 5th gear has a little bit of a wine. 5th is a pretty tal gear puts less stress on your motor giving you better fuel milage . but suck if you try to use it for passing hope this helps
