Whistle noise on cold startup 2018 Sport Tech

From what I have been told by techs and other Z owners, this is quite normal on the 6 speed manual. Apparently our transmissions are inherently noisy.

Yes, but that is another issue/inherent noise. I know what you are talking about.

This is a momentary sound that goes away with clutch actuation. Never to be heard of again until resting for 48 hours.

I own a 2016 sport package 370z with 37k miles. I have the exact same whistling noise issue. It will only happen during a cold start, and if I rev the engine it gets even louder. As soon as I press the clutch once the noise is gone. I don’t daily my car either.

Our girls need lots of lube.
