Engine Humming?
I've noticed my car has the dreaded humming noise coming from the engine especially in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear, whenever I let off or shift. Is there a fix for this or is this doing any kind of harm?

I don't have an MT but sounds like your drowning the gears, sometimes I shift to 5th and then floor it in 5th and I get that same droning sound. Try shifting a bit later say around 3k instead of 2200 (or wherever). Only sound I can relate too so hope it helps. Not the JWTs they have a very distinctive sound @ WOT.

Yeah the JWTs sound great at WOT.
