HELP...transmission 5th gear noise


I bought my 2003 GT two weeks ago. Whenever I am in 5th gear I get this whirling/almost grinding sound. It is pretty loud and sounds like it coming from the shifter area. When I shift out of 5th into neutral the noise is still there. From neutral I pull it into 4th and the noise goes away. Then back into 5th it starts with the whirling/grinding again. Then I repeat...5th to neutral still there...neutral to 4th its gone...back to 5th the noise is back. Also, it only happens when I am above 50mph. The sound also goes away after about 15 mintues of 50mph+ driving.

The car came with a MGW shifter and initially I thought it was just noise from the shifter. So I got a used stock shifter, put it in and the noise is still there. Not any quieter or louder...the same.

Please help...any thoughts at all? Should I be looking for a new tranny?

I don't understand how this can be normal. It sounds horrible. I suppose I am probably really focusing on it which is making it wors
