1997 A4 low gear, low rpm whine
 

Hi,

My 1997 A4 1.8 manual has in the past few days developed a whine in 1st
and 2nd gear.
This happens under acceleration and deceleration, but only at fairly
low rpm.

Also, I don't know if I'm imagining this, but there seems to be a drop
in acceleration..

It's done 131000 miles, and has in the last 5000 miles had a new
clutch, new belts (all) and a new water pump.

Anybody have an idea or come across this before ?

Thanks.

Could be loads of different things.

When was the gearbox fluid last change ? Was it done at the same time as the
clutch ? If not, and you think it's gearbox related then change the gearbox
oil to see if it goes away.

I agree with Richard - my '76 MGB tells me when the gearbox oil is low
by a whining in the lower gears.
