It sounds like the layshaft hardening is worn.  This causes slight misalignment of the lower ratios and gives that whine to them.  Replace the layshaft and bearings before it gets terminal.  You dont get the sound in 4th because its direct drive through the gearbox and 5th is usually hard to wear out.

Subject: dogleg box

    Hi all,
          Can anyone tell me what is special about the Stanza Dogleg `box?  The one i have is supposed to have C/R 1-2-3 and normal 4-5. It also has a slight noise similar to MGB`s and Austin Healy Sprites in 1-2-3 but not as loud. Box seems in EC with no slop in gear stick, just took alot of getting used to changing from 1-2 (1-4 very easy) as well as changing down, i found R/Foot brake/acc  for down shift easier.
                          Are these normal symptoms or have i got something special. 
 
Thanks,
           Kris.
