>>Hi Everyone- >>Recently I've noticed a subtle, but noticeable turbine-like whine when >>downshifting from 2->1 at about 5000 - 6000rpm (after downshift). The whine >>begins as the clutch is fully engaged, and subsides as the engine winds >down >snip If you have your A/C on, it's the A/C. Mine makes a whining sound above 4 grand. It sounds like a charger but saps energy instead.
