I bought a 2008 Honda Accord EX w/ 110k miles, the vehicle runs perfect and shifts perfect. However, when I reverse and also when going from a stop and go in the mornings I can hear a high pitch maybe squeal or whine sound. Its hella annoying and have heard this before on other Hondas. Does anyone have a solution to stop this or maybe just tell me what it is if its part of the design and cannot be fixed?

thanks

I'm 99% sure that's just how a manual transmission works. I don't know the technical reasons, but someone else may.

haha normal bro. Even my automatic TSX had that sound.

This is due to the shape of the reverse gear teeth. If you get hardcore into transmission upgrades, you can get your forward gears to sound like this.
