63 E-Type Super Whine in 1st
I just acquired a 1963 E-type and I noticed that it's very loud in 1st gear. I know there is whine, but this is a bit more than I expected. It is cold here, around freezing. The first time, the car did warm up too much. The second time, I let it warm for about 10 minutes. Is this normal? Gearbox feels really good otherwise, shifting is pretty easy. Downshifting is easy as well.

I guess I'm just comparing what I hear on YouTube videos. I can hear the whine in them, and mine seems 4x louder.

The Moss gearbox does have a distinct 'whine' in first gear, which is normal for straight-cut gears. If the gearbox is being overhauled, it's not unusual to check the gears for burring on the edges that can also cause that type noise.
