its not realy bad but iritating, Any ideas

I have tried a different gearbox oil (Millers 75w90 synthetic). I did this a couple of thousand miles ago on my 09 RK.. The noise on 5th has not gone (wouldn't have expected that) but it is considerably reduced. One of our tech experts has recommended 2 particular oils which I will try if I can get hold of them but I used the Millers as it was easily at hand and I have used their oils for many years now.
