I have a problem with my manual transmission in my Civic. I have recently installed a new (used) one that I bought with 100k mile's.. Immediatly upon completing the install and on the first test drive.. I notice a whining noise when downshifting and letting out the clutch... It sounds like reverse almost. It does this in all gear's, but I should note that it get's louder and more high pitched as I downshift.. ie... from 3rd to 2nd and lastly 1st. Secondly, sometime's while driving it I cant get the shifter to go Over to get it into 5 or reverse, this is sparatic.. but it happen's.. other then that, The tranny shift's great and is quite when driving.. only when downshifting do I hear the noise.. What do you guy's think?
When i take off in first and second i hear a small whinning
Providing there are no oil leaks at all, some transmission stabilizer may help. Any experience i've had with a whining 5 speed, is not good. Usually it's a bearing on it's way out. Try some of this, and see if it makes any difference.

I filled the oil to spec and it is not leaking. I used the Honda MTF and filled it until it started to spill from the oil check bolt.
Is the oil level good? Sometimes they will scream at you if it's not full, and make for hard shifting.
