Transmission Whine

MY00 4dr Turbo 4000 miles
My car's making a whining noise at low speed, especially in 1st/2nd gear that sounds like the tranmission. It's not the turbo - the revs aren't high enough for that to have kicked it (and I've got a boost guage). It makes no difference if it's hot or cold.
It's absolutely fine in higher gears / higher speeds and the car feels fine.
I don't recall it being so noisy when I first got it, but the dealer doesn't think anything is amiss.
Any ideas, or is my memory just clouded?

NickP,
My MY98 suffers from some whine in 1st and 2nd gears - I think that it is normal for Imprezas to whine a bit in the lower gears. Like you car, my gearbox doesn't whine in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears.
My 1st gear started to whine quite a lot on the overrun, but this has 'stabilised', so I decided not to worry umless it gets worse.
After a prolonged argument with my dealer, IM eventually authorised a replacement gearbox, which sounded exactly the same!.
Cheers,
Alex
