**EDIT: I have merged two threads that both had the same theme: A "whine" in the 6 speed transmission that was NOT present when the cars were purchased, that ultimately leads to a complete replacement of the transmission. My own 2012 1.4 6MT is now at the dealership for a transmission replacement. My dealer knew nothing about the failures that are beginning to occur. If you drive a 6MT equipped car, the noise sounds like a metallic whine or grinding noise.**
Now back to the existing thread:
I started noticing a whining noise in the transmission in 5th and 6th gear on my 2012 1.4 Manual tranny Sonic Hatchback. I took it into the dealer and drove with the tech to show him. They kept it and looked into it. They called me the next morning and said they were going to replace it and had one on order. It is at least covered under warranty, but pretty early for a tranny to go out. So if you notice a whining in 5th and 6th gear when you give it gas, take it into the dealer.
