p66 · 03-29-2013, 11:52 AM

I am starting to get a noticebly louder sound from what I think is the transmission. When the car is stopped and in neutral, I can hear a faint rattle or whirring sound. Frankly, it sounds like a helicopter. When I depress the clutch the sound stops. Release the clutch and the helicopter is in my trunk again. It's faint, so I can't tell if it's still present when in gear and driving. Any ideas?
