^ This made me chuckle for some reason.
The "whining" aspect is those gearboxes are made with straight cut gears rather than helical (ie, in a standard gearbox the forward gears are helical and reverse is straight cut I believe).
But then they have no syncro's etc too, dog engagement?
The up up, down down is called a sequential gearbox.
