new ep3 owners few niggles

well having had the car a day now just wanting to check a few things.......at 60k with full service history shouldnt be too many problems but...
there is no crunching at all in any gear when cold or hot they are very precise and tight...no noises when engaging and disengaging the clutch.
only problem i have is when in forst or second just crawling with the foot off the clutch and saught of using the engine to break i get a weird rattling whirring sound.... does it more in first gear.....in first up to 4k revs then let off and it just doesnt sound right....

would changing the gearbox oil maybe help this or is this a normal sound for a ep3 cheers guys
hope no problems already
 
anyone? heard there are problems with heatshields rattling..maybe this is the noise just sounded like gearbox rattling just in first and seconds slowing down at around 2-3k revs cheers
