Hi All
Just bought a new Trend manual LW MKII. I have noticed a slight "whine" in 4th gear thats starts at about 70k/hr. Only happens when accelerating - as soon as you back off, the nosie disappears. Is this normal? Will this go away (only has 500 k's on it)? Any advice for a first timer appreciated!! |

Yes have same in my new sport. Will be reporting it at the 3,000k free check over.
Mine is noticeable in 4th and 5th at 60kph and above and a bit in most gears when accelerating. Cant hear if playing music but will make sure it is on the report so if it gets worse I will be asking for a fix under warranty. |

Mine is definitely 4th gear only - as soon as you press the clutch to change into 5th the noise disappears. The noise is most noticeable between 70-90kph. I will also be making sure this is documented when it goes in for the 3000k checkup
