Question Regarding Drivetrain Noise
I've spent a couple hours researching this and have found a lot of different information. Just wanted to check with you guys here and let me know your thoughts.
06 GT with the 5-speed. 62k miles on the odometer. My question is regarding drivetrain noise... it sounds like it has a supercharger... I joke but there is a steady whine from the transmission. Its not loud enough to overpower the radio unless I listen for it. On the freeway its barely noticeable. Shifts feel very solid if notchy, but lock in with authority. I have some "clunking" with a 1-2 and 2-3 and back down but only slowly and with no power. Basically if I dont want to make a sound I can, and shifting under power and quickly I dont hear/feel it (or im to busy having fun to notice).
Other people in the car either didnt notice, or said yeah I wouldnt worry. I just spent 14k so im going to worry . It sounds like the 3650 can be a little noisy along with the 2-piece drive shaft. Im new to these cars coming from a well worn Honda Accord. If it is fairly normal for a 60k mile car im thrilled. If not I just want to be prepared. I should note I didnt notice in the test drive...
Thanks for any information!

Thanks for the reply's.
Honestly the noise, if normal, does not bother me at all. All part of owning the car... Such a cool feeling coming from an Accord 5-speed.
What fluid are you guys running in your manual transmissions? Any favorites?
