Gearbox Whining When Accelerating And Cruising

[james_60]

Hi folks

About to drive 420 miles to calais from our holiday in france.

When accelerating and crusing the gearbox develops what can be described as a whining noise.

Is this normal.

Any speed above 40mph in any gear apart from reverse because that whines anyway.

Thought i had something similar noise until the garage took me out on a different bit of tarmac and the noise dissappeared, put down to tyre rumble roar, back onto a normal rough piece of road and the noise came back. Not impressed with the road noise in the new Fiesta.............
