The noise in the tranny seems to have everyone baffled at the deeler. One tech thinks its just lugging. another says that the new big gears have to wear in and mesh. Sounds like BS to me, but since there aren't any service manuals available yet they admit that they are guessing. One thing we all agree on is that the shift points listed in the owners manual are out to lunch. It says you're supposed to shift into second ant 25 kph(15mph) and then every 15 kph after that(10 mph). That puts you in 6th at 85kph(55mph)! way too slow. I've been shifting at around 35,55,80,100,120kph for the last 5oo km or so and it is much smoother that way.
