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

Fast05 is correct. Mine is louder some days and not on others.

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
