My gearbox sounds like a BOV
Recently I have noticed that my gearbox makes a swooshing sound when changing from first to second and on to third gear. It is barely noticable but its there when the radio is off.
All new greasy oil(80/90w), im thinking that it could be regular wear as im running a pretty strong motor on my N/A box.
Any ideas ???

I always go to Mazdatrix for my problems. It doesn't really describe your problem here, but it might be able to help you out.

Change out the gear lube in the tranny, it makes an incredible difference if you use some decent gear lube, considering its probably never been changed in the history of the car anyhow.

Could the Pilot bearing not be seated right, because it only appears when I feed the beast a new gear.
