I did search and Im posting because Im not sure it is a leak as I get the noise under very light acceleration as you can hear in the vid - this just seemed to start happening and the car only has 300 miles on it, what do you guys think?

Do u hav any mod on the car?

 

lol, you are hearing the whine of the gears, which is normal. If you listen carefully, you'll notice that it does it in 1st gear, but not once 1st has been disengaged after the shift to 2nd is complete (clutch #1 shifts to 3rd gear). You'll hear the whine come back in 3rd gear, but slightly more mild.

If you read the manual, it states that the whine is normal.

 

I have to agree with Webman... I don't hear anything odd in that video.... all I hear is the gearbox.

 

thanks guys, i guess im just starting to notice it now, very strange, it still seems like its louder than it used to/should be, i dunno i hope im just being parnoid

 

chek your gear oil , and see how that comes out just in case.

 

It annoys the hell out of me... I tend to only use 1st gear from a stop. If you're already moving a little bit, 2nd is good for everything. Cruising around in parking lots, it's all I can hear.

 

word, i remember hearing something like this but it seems to have gotten much louder, gonna take it to glendale mitsubishi on thursday afternoon and just let em check it out, still annoying as fawk and very noticeable with the windows rolled up...def seems more noticeable on the odd gears tho...

 

My GF thought it was the sound of the turbo, lol.

 

I actually love the sounds my car makes because the sounds are due to the devices on the car that give it extra performance.

 

Too bad the video was removed, cause I would've like to hear it. I have something similar and wanted to know if it was normal...

 

put video back plz, curious

 

Just drive in a parking garage in first gear... you'll hear the whine.
