When I looked up the transmission whine on the forum, some say it's normal for the car, and I was wondering if they had a different fluid other than the OEM or Motul. I'll be careful not to abuse it for sure.

Thanks for sharing.

ps. my friend described it was like a super charger ha
Do you have any stiffer bushings or inserts on your car? The slight supercharger whine is exactly how I’d describe the sound after putting in the Whiteline positive shift kit (trans bushing insert). Most noticeable in lower gears.
