I bought a T5 WC from a buddy of mine, 1st and 2nd syncros were shot and the shift fork was toast. Had it rebuilt at a shop a while back, finally got it installed and it shifts perfectly, everything works, but it makes a loud howling noise when I go into 2nd gear. Its only in 2nd gear, and it speed up and slows down with rpm, goes away completely when the clutch is depressed when you are moving. I'm passed my 6 month warranty, and Ive got a little know how on the T5, but I have no clue what would make that kinda noise.

Being gear-specific, it is probably the gear teeth on the countershaft and 2nd speed gear.

Yup, that might account for gear noise...
