Aaron’s RNB S2K
Hi all, Just bought a MY04 Friday having sold my ep3, new to this forum so HELLO! 
Drives great, gearbox is awesome and grips very well but have a couple niggles with it though: There is a whining noise when cars warm when the clutch is engaged and accelerating determines how loud the whining is. Sometimes when changing gear there is a small single knock from under the car.

Hello and welcome,
Just a suggestion but couldn't the whinning be the common "clutch buzz"?
This may not work but try regreasing the gear selector, theres a thread on here somewhere, easy job and well worth it however I doubt will fix the selection noise. I have it also and I kind of like it!
Hopefully you will find the answer you are searching for.

Whine might be differential (or gearbox). Could try changing the gear & diff oil as a first port of call.
There can be a bit of a thunk from neutral to first very occasionally, that's normal. I've not had it with other gears.
If it's more of a kind of click from the rear, you may need new hub nuts, torqued to the revised (higher) setting.

Oils first, the S has a quite notchy gearbox at best, fresh oil usually makes a difference.
