Also find a spot where you can go faster in 6th and see what happens.
Do you feel any vibrations when tis is happening.
Have you tried driving the same rpm in 5th? Noise?
Try changing transmission fluid if nothing else helps.
When I go beyond 78mph, and still in 6th, the noise fades out. I'm starting to think it is inbetween gears at this speed and a harmonic sound. Which is crazy 6th gear is that large. Maybe I'd be happier with a different gear ratio.......it sure makes sense considering I have no need for top end speed. I'm sure there are lots of threads on that topic!
