Change the oil in the trans to the Castrol stuff listed on the ZF website. Most of these things make noise when idling in neutral. If it's real loud it may be the input bearing in the trans, but I think you will find for the most part it is normal.

Our ZF's are NOT the most quiet gearboxes in the universe.
They ARE tough as can be, and that's a decent trade-off.

I have 42k on mine and it does the same thing. I'm told that it's normal.

Bought mine new and the ZF has made noise since day one.
