All,

As you may or may not know, I am new to this forum and new to the Porsche car, so I apologize in advance if this is silly and due to the fact that I am still in the "ohhhhhh, its a Porsche" stage of ownership.

But, my car has a noise that it makes right after I shift. To me it sounds like a vibration noise (I guess most are on a car) that comes from the rear of the car but in front of the engine, why I guessed transmission. It goes away above a certain RPM. I told my mechanic about the noise when I had some other work done to it last week but he said he was unable to recreate the noise. He did say the car appears to be in excellent condition, but the noise still bothers me. Anyone have any ideas as to what this might be?

The only thing I can come up with since (I have not driven the car since so I have not yet tested this theory) is that I may be driving the car incorrectly. I usually shift at 3-3.5K when cold and to shift 3.5K+ when hot. But even if I was shifting too low, should there be a noise other than engine grumbling?

Any insight would be most appreciated.
