Yeah, I'v noticed the same thing on my '08. The manual trans is actually a little noisy. One of these days I'll change to a differant fluid and see if that helps.

It's a big gearbox, the bigger they are the noiser. Some oils will reduce noise somewhat for sure, but it's the nature of the beast.

Mine was really noisy about 5,000 miles after I first got it. You could hear the synchros whining on decel. I took it back in and had them replace the synchros under warranty. Fixed everything. The cluncking is normal though.
