When cruising at any normal speed for 6th gear, there is a whine, i assume from the gearbox...nothing sinister sounding, just wondered if this is normal. its a MY05 sti ppp. cheers.

 

Well maybe it could do qwith some fresh oil in the box, try either Castrol Syntrax 75-90 or Redline shockproof and see if that cures it

 

thanks, so it shouldnt whine then? will have to wait till after xmas now i think. cheers.

 

Thought straight cut gears whine on overrun?

 

I get this slight whine also. I've just had gearbox and diff oils changed. Again it doesn't sound to bad. I notice it more so on smooth motorways.



The sound is like a faint supercharger noise that the mini makes.

 

Spot on...that's exactly what it's like, it's by no means intrusive at all, just noticeable.

 

Had it on mine ..... oil changed ...whine gone...

Easy , but a bit messy job....
