I just recently put another t5 in my car and after we installed it it makes whinning noise almost like a supercharger. Can anyone tell me what it might be. Thanks for the help.

Is it a new T5? Did you install an aftermarket shifter? When I had my T45 replaced under warranty I noticed the whine, but was told that this is normal and just needs to be broken in.

After 12,000 miles it got a little quieter, or maybe I just got used to it. [Big Grin]

It's a used t5 with stock shifter. And now I kinda feel like my reverse keeps popping out. You guys think I need more gear fluid?

What's ATF? Thanks for all the help.

ATF... automatic transmission fluid, thats what you use in the t5's it's easiest to take the shifter off and fill it there. my t5 whines a lil too. good luck
