Quiery for VX manual owners

[CMA]

Just got a quiery... My engine or trans (manual) makes a bit of a whine when accelerating, more noticeable in 1st and 2nd gears and even more at higher revs. Just wondering if every1 else with manual VX's have the same whine. Sounds normal to me but just want to be sure

Thanks guys

Yeah i got it too...
DO you get it when your say in 1st and just coasting at like 2000rpm?
Just a very subtle whine

I get it aswel when changing gears the engine holds the revs for a few seconds while gear shifting, i have no idea why Holden made it this way.

Funny actually you should say that Ryan, I think at times it almost sounds like its supercharged, it has that noise about it haha

yeh i dont mind it hey....but then it sorta makes u wish u had one though....lol

Ye I love that sound. But you get over it soon or later. hehe

Will getting headers &/or an exhaust cover up that sound or will you still be able to hear it clearly over headers or exhaust noise?

haha
i had a kid ask if my car was turbo...i was told that my gearbox had a whine to it, but the dude that i bought it off said he got it checked when he bought it cos he was concerned that it was buggered but apparently it's the way they are...

hey Winter my car, when i shift quickly, seems to hold revs or even rev up a bit through the shift...i've that shifting more carefully and slowly stops it a bit...anyone notice this characteristic aswell...doesn;t bother me, i think it's fun.

Mine doesn't rev up mine just holds the revs

yeh mine does rev up too hey....apparently its to do wid the fly wheel that holden used think its dual mass designed to make the gear changes smoother....all i rekon it does but is make you sound like a **** driver...lol :thumbsup:
