There is an annoying whining noise in 1, 2, 3 and 5th gear particularly when under accelaration. 4th gear is incredibly quiet. This specific noise in gears had been mentioned in an earlier post some years back . The gearbox was a replacement put in just 20,000 km ago by the previous owner of 12 years who maintained the car very well said that the noise was there when the box went in and it hasn't got any worse? Why would 4th be quiet and the others noisy? I imagine big $$$ to fix.

I received one suggestion when I posted this with my introduction but thought I may be better asking the question here.

My gearbox is the same and has been for 100,000 km. 4th is quiet because it is direct 1:1 ratio and doesn't put load through the countershaft like every other gear does
