Auto Transmission Noise in Manual Gear 3
TSB LA307-001
"A customer may report a concern of an unusual noise from the transmission/drive line when driving with manual gear 3 selected under light throttle applications between 1500-2000rpm. The noise may be described as a 'scraping' or 'dry bearing noise' but is not apparent in 'D' (drive) or other gears.
Cause: Under certain specific conditions, the torque converter causes an undetectable vibration which causes the transfer box drive chain to shake, resulting in the noise.
Action: On a customer concern basis only regarding the above, refer to the Service Procedure detailed in this bulletin to update the transmission control module software."

I did hear that noise, yes, but rarely use manual mode so thought I'd mention it at next service. It obviously sounds worse than it actually is - it sounds quite nasty. Yes, it is amazing what s/w can fix.
Now I can go at thim with the solution, as well as the problem.
They should pay me for saving their time!
