06 Mazda5 Touring MT
My 06 Mazda5 seems unusually loud when reversing, compared to my other cars. Has anyone else noticed this? I have the 5 speed manual.
 
Mine start getting really loud @ around 52MPH :)

Nahh, I used to drive a manual Honda before so I think *think* the noise is similar to any other manual. If you have no trouble changing gears (i.e. it gets difficult or is hard to engage them) you should be fine.
 
You referring to that whirring noise for a MT in reverse? I love that sound whiiiiiiIIIIIIIRRRR! Before I know it Im doing 40mph in reverse and I took out 2 kids and a mailbox I mean, what?!! :)
 
Well, it's considerably louder than any VW, Audi, Volvo, or Suzuki I've ever owned. The Renault was too long ago to recall. :)
 
I beleive its because most cars come with the Reverse as a straight cut gear, or dog tooth is the name, maybe, I dunno....
