Faint metal spinning noise just as going into 6th gear..

[Only Human]

'14 Civic Si Sedan..

I fell into a 6-8 inch pothole in a parking lot last week that I'm pretty mad and upset about. Luckily, there seems to be no damage, but of course I'm listening to everything very closely.

While doing so, I discovered that at highway speeds, right as I push the gear into 6th, I hear a metal spinning-whining noise that it faint. It pretty much sounds like the shifting fork rubbing against spinning gears.

This could and probably be normal, but I only hear it as I am going into 6th, for a split second.

Has anybody noticed this? Or can anybody try it out to notice it?

- on the highway, stay in 4th, depress the clutch, let the RPM go down below 1k so everything is quiet. Windows up. Then push slowly into 6th.

You still have a warranty?

Have you tried not skipping 5th gear? See if you hear the same noise when going from 5th to 6th.....

It's definitely less from 5th to 6th and non-existent if I do double-clutching. This all means that what I'm hearing is the syncro. It is also only audible around 65-68 MPH. There is no difficulty in engaging the gear or anything feeling different from before. I'll just let it be for not and see if anything changes.
