Transmission noises
Do you have transmission noises that sounds like a transmission bearing that is wearing out? 
Actually, all is quiet when I press on the clutch pedal, say halfway down.
Someone told me that ITR trannies are known to be noisy! Just checking out the info because a lot of passengers find it noisy. I'm used to it so it doesn't really bother me.

Yikes!
Drop the oil and see if the tranny fluisd has any discoloring.
IF it does you might have lost a bearing like I did a while back.
Actually all the bearings in my tranny went

There was no symptons, Just a slight noise that kept getting louder. The dealer tried to put the blame on me at first, then I started to yell and they changed thier minds and then said it was bearing failure... They had no clue what caused it...
As for synthetic, I change the tranny oil every 12-15k miles with Honda MTF.
I will be trying Motul oil next time.

I do think the average user should change his transmission oil a little more frequently.
Especially after a track event, just change the oil.

Unfortunately, although I can testify that a little noise is what most of us are experiencing, I cannot hear how loud your noise is, or if it's become raspy instead of just annoying.
If it's the same noise most of us are hearing, it's no reason to panic. There is a point at which it will become annoying, and it will become a sign that your bearings have worn out.
How many miles on your car?

You know what, I think that I have the same problem because my bro mentionned that it was louder than he could remember since he doesn't ride often with me in the ITR. I'm going to get it checked out!
In what way did the dealer blamed you about?
