I also have a similar sound on my lude, can only notice it when the window is down and in lower rpms though, but cant tell if it is a belt or the gearbox ( had a similar sound before I did the ac belt delete) also is there a way to check the mtf level? or is it just as of when you change it?

thanks

You can check the level of the MTF fluid by removing the fillerbolt and putting your finger in. It should be just below the filler hole. Not that easy to do as you have to have the car level before you can do this. So you need level ground and 4 axle stands............I wouldn't get under a car without it at least being on axle stands.

Fluid level aside, if you dont know when your gearbox oil was last changed or if its has ever been changed, I would get it done as a matter of precution. 2 Quarts of MTF isnt expensive and a local garage shouldn't charge a lot to get it done.

thanks BMCC I will check at lunch if I can.

Merlin ive already got 3 litres of Honda's MTF, but just not got round to changing it yet as...I dont really know how to but to be fair I havnt really made a real effort to find out either. Its just sitting amongst my preulde goodies in the corner of the house lol
