So did a search on the forum about noise when shifting to 5th gear and this was close but not quite what I'm experiencing. When I shift into 5th I hear a slight chirp noise that sounds like it is inside the car. No grinding noise and the shifts are smooth. It doesn't happen all the time and I can never seem to replicate the noise right after it happens. The Z is brand new with less than 2,000 miles on it. Any thoughts?

With a new gearbox it is probably not your synchros yet. (That comes later). I'd run the tranny for 5000 break in miles then put in some quality gearbox oil like redline.
