[http://www…-LbLbwiOmA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-LbLbwiOmA) sound at around 6 and 9 seconds. kinda whiny sound. follows shifting gears. was only once in a while, now practically all the time. sorry kinda windy sounding audio. 6 months ago clutch cable broke and was fixed. think this sound is something to do with clutch? ---
