# Why does first gear sound like reverse? -->

Its almost like the same sound you get when you're in reverse. It doesnt sound as much as a "crank" like reverse, but more of a whirring sound...I dont know how to explain it. But its kinda loud. I know nothing about VE's but my VG didnt do it.

- input shaft bearing...not a cheap fix if you have to pay someone else Meadzee (91SE 5spd) 21:34:22 6/27/2002 (0)
- I agree w/ Matt. if the bearing is bad, it will allows the gears to ride up on each other = noise. Try some synthetic gear oil. Cheap to try vs new tranny etc n/m Jeff92se (92se) 12:05:50 6/27/2002 (0)
