I just noticed that when i set the lense to manual focus that it sounds like the motor is still connected when I turn the focus ring. I checked my other lenses and none of them make a sound but this lense is making a sound. To better describe this sound it makes the same sound the lense would in auto mode when focusing. So is it off to the repair shop? It focuses just fine in auto, but i dont want to damge it any further if it is damaged.

is this the two stage focus switching? you need to pull the "clutch" to MF mode as well to disconnect the ring.

two stage.
The ring is pulled back and the switch is set to manual.
