Default RS500 gearbox noise at 5th gear

Hello all,

I need your help, please! Yesterday I cruised with my 70th Coupe on a highway in the 5th gear of my nearly brand new Keisler RS 500 which I drive since the beginning of last season. The speed was around 70 mph. At one time there was a very bad noise (hard running gears) out of the gearbox. Immediately I pressed the clutch and stopped the car. After a shock moment I tried to drive on again slowly and everything seemed well. Each gear shifted smooth, I heard no gearbox noise. But by the end I had it four times and I don't know the cause. The gearbox has been running approx 900 mls without any issues. Oil and oil level corresponds to the Keisler specification. The gearbox was driven never hard.

Many thanks for your help in advance!

Bye
Andreas
