At what RPM's?

If you're flooring the gas in 6th at like 2000 rpm, you're going to get a lot of NVH.

Noise Vibration Harshness...

Flooring it in 6th is way out of the powerband and you're lugging the engine really bad. Puts a lot of stress on the transmission.

When you floor the gas, try and make sure it's at 3000-3500.
