I recently installed a used gearbox into my car. Everything works fine about it, except that I when I am in first gear it makes that sound that gearboxes normally make when they are in reverse. I actually kind of like it, but I thought I would ask if this is a sign of something about to go seriously wrong. BTW, why do gearboxes sound different in reverse?

Demick hit it on the head, rev is straight cut = noisy, 1st is helical cut = less noisy. I would be concerned about the noise. Why did you need to swap boxes in the first place?
