It may not actually be any louder in the first 2 gears, but by the time you hit 3rd, wind and tire noise is beginning to drown out the engine noise. But, if you're sure it's louder, it may be the transmission that is causing the noise.

Maybe the trans because i just had it rebuilt a couple of months ago,but i dont know if it did it before i had the tow 'tugger' shift kit put in it. It is the motor because when you come to a stop and it down shifts in to 2nd it gets louder, but its the same at idle too so how could it be the trans then? maybe grinding?? God hope NOT!!!!
