i just noticed this recently -- while driving my ep going over 50mph then putting the car into neutral to let it coast i hear a howling noise and what is also wierd is that when i move the shfter it feels like something is lightly grinding( when i move it from left to right, right to left)if i rev the car the noise and the light grinding feeling goes away, same if i put my foot on the clutch or if i just put it back into gear. Has anyone noticed this??? is it normal?? or should i take it to teh dealer???

Question- When you are moving it back and forth, is the clutch pedal in?

The dealers first answer will probably be " Don't coast in neutral at 50mph". It could be a sound that is always there, just masked by the engine noise. The gears in the transmission will make some noise as they are moving at a pretty high speed, not sure if your noise is higher then normal. I wouldn't recomend moving the shifter at those speeds with the clutch pedal out. ALthough you are still in neutral
there is still moving parts in your tranny.
