tried this on my way home last night, no tranny noise, just tire and wind noise.

I don't think car manufacturers use straight cut gears except for reverse in a manual tranny..

they dont, but some designs might be cut at less of an angle. to prevent slippage of such a small gear..

I have the same intermittent vibration at highway speeds in 5th gear. After hearing everyone else here say it has happened to them, I figure it's harmless and is just a normal quirk for a dirt-cheap little car. I think the Aveo is the one car that I've ever seen that has more issues with the manual trannys than automatics. Consumer reports really bashed the manuals in these cars for feeling clunky and awkward, and so has every other car critic. It really does have an annoyingly long throw, and feels like shifting a diesel truck instead of a tiny pocket car.

yeah. the shifter is annoying, i am still looking for a short shift solution it was available but is not longer in stock anywhere.
