Hi
I was wondering if the 6 speed manual transmission from the s2 is quiter? As the noise the s1 transmission makes is ridiculous.

Thanks

No it's not, but my S1 trans wasn't loud either. But then again I drive a rather highly modified rotary so loud is subjective.

The correct question to ask is, "why is it so loud"

I understand that the gears don't intermesh as much as many transmissions, this is to reduce mechanical drag, but the downside is the noise.

I was looking at maybe trying a thicker grade of gearbox oil to try and quieten it down.

Thanks
