hey guys, my cars a 98 v6 5speed. when i drove it today, i put it in 3rd and noticed it made a sort of shhhhh sound. when i gave it more gas and sped up, it would get louder. just wondering what it is. does the same thing in fifth if im going about 45-50 and give it more gas to get the rpms up. any ideas? don't want to have to tear my car apart before i get to drive it close to everyday
oh yea, i can have the clutch in and it'll still sound like that only lower

is it just at a certain RPM? or is it more of a speed thing?

does it sound like its coming through the trans tunnel? I guess it could be that the lower shifter boot tore and you're hearing road noise, but i would assume thats rare

ill drive it again tommorrow or friday and i'll see if it does that stopped and running. i was goin about 28 and put it in 3rd and it started and stayed doin that til i put it in 4th. slowed down and put it back in 3rd, same noise until i put it in 4th. then i sped up to about 55 and put it in 5th and had to slow back down a little and when the rpms start getting too low, how a car usually vibrates sayin you need to shift down or speed up, it would whistle in 5th until i got up to good rpms. i was also goin 55 and held the clutch and put it in 3rd rolling and it did it rolling, put it in N and nothin, back in 3rd, back to the shhhhhhhh. if anyone has any more ideas for tests, tell me, or any causes of this, i'd be thankful
sorry for the novel hehe
