Its pretty loud in 4th and 5th at 45-50 mph after that the wind/road noise helps hide it.I have a header and 2.5 exhaust and drive with the windows up and ac on most of the time.I suppose with the windows down at 55+ mph I wouldnt hear it as bad,but damn I was trying to upgrade to get a newer trans and already sold my B13 trans.
Like if you are riding in gear and ease in and out of the throttle is where you can really tell.It reminds me of an old truck I had just before the rear diff blew up.

Wow,I have been using MT90 for over 10 years with no problems(or noises) whatsoever...in fact I did have a B14 trans years ago that whined a little in 4th when I got it,and MT 90 made it quieter

I am just a bolted DE so its not the power.This was purchased in preparation for a future VE swap,but now I have to wonder how its gonna act when I have some power and especially high RPM shifting.

Oh no...not what I wanted to hear...I thought that gearstack was an option for the B15 trans?...Wasnt it you that figured that out back when you grenaded a B15 trans
Now I am really confused
All I was told that the 2nd gear synchros had a problem that was repaired...what exactly was repaired was not disclosed.Maybe they only changed second...I may never know the truth at this point,or what to believe for that matter.
I am sure if I hadnt noticed the silicone and contacted the seller,I would not have even had that info.

I have gotten a PM from the seller.He saw this thread and now wants to "make it right" somehow.Its to be expected,when I could post pics/videos,leave feedback or post in the buyer/seller section,etc.
I didnt do any of that,and I kindly replied that I posted this thread for advice on the noise,not to throw him to the dogs.If this guy was a total noob,I would have had no mercy after being ripped off by a couple in the past.
I dont know what to do just yet,looking for some advice.How do you make this right,when it was clearly dishonest?Money may make me feel a little better ,but it wont drop my trans and fix it.
It also wont help other member be aware of who to be careful dealing with.This was a business transaction to him apparently.For me,it was like dealing with friends or family...my bad

Yes its my daily,and I dont have time to go through all that.It was hard enough to find the time to swap it in by myself.I have never rebuilt or taken apart a trans...dont care to either.More than likely,I would not what to look for or how to fix it anyway.
I thought I was gonna be good for a while after spending half the value of my car on a tranny
I will keep that rebuild offer in mind,if you were closer,I would pay you to check this one out for me.
Theres no question in my mind that the trans was not tested IN A CAR before being sold.If it was,it had one hell of a loud exhaust drowning it out,or someones deaf to not hear the whine.
Bottom line.
Aside from other issues with this deal...The trans was rebuilt,and sold without disclosing the rebuild until I got it.
I am glad he seems to want to "make this right"...but it was still wrong and dishonest from the get go.
Its like the saying married people use..
So what do YOU GUYS think would "make this right"?
Should I just keep it to myself and get a couple hundred bucks back,or say fuckit,count my losses,suck it up,and probably and let everyone know who it was??
