Mine does that when a come from a stop or a slow roll. Mine has been doing that since I bought it too, as soon as it hits a certain speed or rpm and exits idle it makes that noise until I get it to at least 20 or 30. It's like a faint whine right?

My only thought would be the throw out bearing could be causing the wine but without being there to look at it it's hard to tell.

just took it into a shop to have them listen. They guy said the tranny is going out. 500 bucks just for labor and then whatever the parts i need.
Thinking this might be the time to sell it and get the gt.

Yup. I was very surprised the first time I heard to use ATF in manual transmissions on mustangs.
