Yes, many owners mention:

Grinding during downshifting o r gear engagement.

Whining noises during high RPM o r in 3rd/4th gear.

Possible causes:

Worn synchronizers

Low o r degraded gear oil

Poor gearbox assembly tolerances

⛔ Conclusion: Transmission noise usually points to internal wear o r poor lubrication, which is not uncommon in vehicles used on rough Pakistani roads without regular service.
