It sounds like a diff whine you got in old cars. and the gears feel yukky . Its only done 26 000 from new so wouldnt have expected a gear box failure. Anyone got any Ideas?
Sounds like you may be downshifting into 1st too early and the limited slip is doing its job. That’s when they whine down, so to speak.
I don’t downshift into 1st until I am fully stopped or moving extreeeemely slowly.

I wonder if it would be worth pulling the clutch out and checking the selector mechanism, something may have come loose?
Is it staying in gear or popping out under load?
