Linwood, MI		It has to do with the way the gears are cut. That's the way Vics are. It's design intent.

The good news is that you'll get used to it and you'll be so in love with the Vision performance that you won't even notice some piddley lil' transmission noise.

Tucson, AZ		I agree with the 5000 mile answer. My 2008 has 5600 miles and is much quieter than when she was new. Fifth is still and has always been the smoother and quieter than any of the other gears.
