So wait... is it just gear whine or what?

I have found it's only when I'm decelerating in 5th gear while at a low RPM like 1500 or so @ 45 MPH. It doesn't seem to make the sound while I'm cruising in 5th gear at a higher RPM like 2000-2300 on the highway.

Its probablly just gear whine. If the backlash is not set perfect the gears will make noise.

Oh thank the lord. I hope that's all. When you all said something about backlash I thought it was something ridiculously serious because well, I didn't know what backlash was, LOL.

Don't let big words confuse you its just regular old gear whine. But i do have to ask what brand gears did you go with?
