Hello

Ehhh, did you install it or did you have a shop install it?

Sounds like it isn't shimmed properly. If you had a shop do it, take it back to the shop and tell them they're idiots and to fix it. Maybe leave out the part where I called them an idiot.

Off-Topic : I'm thinking english isn't your first language. You're not bad at it, but it just sounds like it from how you type.

By the way guys, if I'm wrong than please correct me here, because I'm going off what I know on my Mustang here, but I do know there are some gears and Ratios out there that do make noise, typically it isn't normal though.

I helped install an ats gear set once.

And yes we had to take the transmission out because it needs to be reshimmed. We assumed that the stock shimming would be ok but it was not.

After we fixed it the gears were noticably louder before. It is because they are cut differently than the oem ones.

The edge of the reverse gear that was just barely touching one of the others.
