New with a quick question

Spoolin05 · 06-10-2008, 06:58 PM

Whats up everyone i just picked up my 05 Sti 2 weeks ago with 33000 on the clock. i Came from a BT VW and woo waht a difference

im in love!

My question is when i am driving and i go into 5th or 6th gear it makes a noise its hard to describe this noise. Its like a wine or a buzz noise it only happens in 5th and 6th and i don't know if it is norm or not. It does not effect the car the car runs great.

Just would like to know being that im knew to subies and all.

Thanks alot!

hey welcome man!!! IS there a aftermarket short throw shifter installed on the car??

Spoolin05 · 06-10-2008, 07:07 PM

I'm not sure if its after market but there is a short shifter. It might be the one that Subaru offers.

Spoolin05 · 06-10-2008, 07:08 PM

I forgot to say its when i gas it or if i let of the gas it makes the noise its not that loud but its there.

Spoolin05 · 06-11-2008, 12:41 PM

so i guess i have nothing to worry about?

***brookslarry*** · 06-11-2008, 12:48 PM

my 06 has a bit of gear whine in 5 and 6 it does in most gears but it seems most noticable in those gears

lapinga · 06-11-2008, 12:57 PM

did you check the oil level ?

IUSTi · 06-11-2008, 01:06 PM

is it more a rattle noise or a whine?

Spoolin05 · 06-11-2008, 02:30 PM

its more of a whine. almost sounds like a turbo. i checkd the oil that is fine.

RacerwrX · 06-12-2008, 06:44 PM

Ha ha you got everyone with this one. lol

Spoolin05 · 06-12-2008, 09:13 PM

lol im sure its ok.

Sounds like the normal tranny whine to me. It's easier to pick out when you're on the freeway at a steady speed, I remember that's when I first heard it. Just to be safe you can always check you're tranny oil level or hell, even change the fluid all together if you haven't gotten you're 30,000 mile service yet.
