t-5 noise?

My t-5 trans, non world class, makes a noise only in neutral, with the clutch engaged. It sounds like a "rock tumbler", and if you push in the clutch, its gone. Sound like an input shaft bearing? ANY INPUT APPRECIATED

No; just, the moving parts of the trans spinning around in there.

All manual transmissions do it to some extent.

If it doesn't whine too bad when loaded, ignore it.

Thanks. Ive heard its common on t-5s, and others have said its an input shaft bearing problem. My t-5 is quiet down the road, just has the "tumbler" sound in neutral
