Not sure how else to explain it other than in first gear, I get a subtle mechanical whine from the transmission with quick acceleration. It sounds like straight gear dogbox race gearboxes as opposed to having the modern gear tooth profiles. The tech I had look at it said it was normal and this isn't the only vehicle I have had with this style gearbox that whines.

edit* and by this style gearbox I mean inline and under car, not transverse under hood. I realize the gearbox does not have straight cut gears
