[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 747195, member: 58988"] I didn't get the brand of gear(my bad). I heard this noise from the first drive and it has not changed much, if any. The break-in: Initially below 45 MPH and varied speed for about 20 miles with slow acceleration and breaking (new brakes, too), stopping at lights. Let it sit for about six hours, then drove it about 35 miles about the same. Drove like this in 25 to 35 mile drives for about 175 miles, then slowly increased the top speed about 3 or 4 MPH each drive after, always taking it easy. So, it's true that some gear sets make more noise than others. Okay. Should I have been savvy enough to insist on "quiet" gears, or should the shop present me with the options, or, are they operating their shop based on what most people want and the option isn't offered (any more)? Anyway, it makes more noise than I want for my daily driver. I don't mind paying extra for quality. What are my options? [/QUOTE]
