Default HSV R8 T56 question.

Hey guys, I'm from Australia and got myself an 07 VE HSV R8. Which uses the T56 gearbox..

I'm experiencing a weird noise in neutral with my clutch pedal out. Like a vibration, light rumbly noise. Yet if I put the clutch in, the noise goes away.

Also in 1st , 2nd gear at high RPM's maybe 2 out of 10 times when I rev it right out, theres this high pitched whine at about 5-6k RPM.

Does this sound like a gearbox issue?

Where do you feel the vibration at? In the car itself or in the pedal?

You have the same model as me and I had a gearbox issue where it made a funny squeeling noise but only when labouring in 5/6 it would start and not go away till I slowed right down to about 20/30 kph.

Another friend also had noises but it did different things.

It cost me $1200 to have it repaired by a gearbox repairer, it was a known issue by holden but they refused warranty due to mods.

That model(some) has issues with the gearbox
