Ima take a shot in the dark. Sounds like your gear box. Get the gear grease changed and see what happens.

I sometimes hear the same sound from my 06 5AT. It's usually from 1000~2500rpm.

It's just your transmission. In the first 2 gears, a whine is very noticeable. I've come to enjoy it.


At least it doesn't sound like a dogbox.

is this the noise everyone keeps saying they have in their 350z?

that is definitely a tranny whine. i've NEVER heard that noise on a 350z or g35 until this video. I guess it's common, but not common around here. lol, weird.

Yeah, mine whines too when I downshift. My girl loves hearing it... I tend to worry but I guess it's normal.

haha, i just thought of what that sounds like.

it sounds like the whine that an electric R/C car makes. the real race ones, not the cheapo walmart ones.

The noise most people complain about is the cement grinder/mixer noise at idle that is attributed to our flywheels.
