There is a third noise which may, or may not be, related to item b) below,
but
is completely different sounding.  My '95 S6 developed a 1st gear noise
sometime over the winter (only noticed it this spring when I finally rolled
down the windows again) that is sort of a whine/groan.  The closest I can
equate it to is the noise from straight cut gears, such as reverse.  It
definitely goes away in 2nd, so it's not pinion bearing related.

Whether it's another manifestation of a galled first gear, or simply a first
gear synchro bearing gone bad I don't know.

The only other car I've heard this on is Paul K's S6.... and come to think
of
it he did drive mine a couple of times before this happened so I'm going to
blame him.  Yup, that's what I'm going to do.

Hmmm... I shoulda finished reading my emails.  Guess that "anonymous cat" is
outta da bag...

Yes, exactly Bob, a very distinct "Third Noise" (is this like the 3rd
shooter?).  Not at ALL like cardinthespokes, but yes, "gear noise".  Like
reverse but without the whirrywhir that you always hear.  Hard to explain,
just audible gear noise, mostly heard in my parking garage or up slight
inclines (load).

Blame me?  I DARE ya to!  Pansy!

If you *did*, you'd then move on to install that FRIGGIN CRB you have
sitting there collecting dust.  You prolly use it as an f'n end table,
whatwith you having the bachelor pad and all.  Matches that Stromung you've
artistically hung on your living room wall, and them Big Black Book Ends you
gots.

You just thought mine sounded so cool and now I had something you didn't,
for once, that you felt compelled to join me.  Poser.

-P my name's not Pizzo so I DIDN'T break it K.
