The 5 sp'd is described as heavy duty, which is how they must be
describing what sure sound like straight cut gears in it (as opposed to
helically cut gears which are quieter, but take a little more power to
drive, maybe). The gear whine in the lower gears is pretty severe, but
it's due to the gears. This ain't a close ratio car transmission
consequently it doesn't shift like one or sound like one. Mine's got 78k
miles on it and it's just about broken in (I hope).
