Title: whining tranny?
Post by: piston_pounder on August 03, 2015, 01:43:38 PM

There is a whining coming from below. It starts quiet in first and progressively gets louder and more high pitch all the way through fifth. After searching for answers I am now 90% sure that it is coming from my transmission.
Im just not sure what part of the transmission. Is it on the verge of a catastrophic failure? Will a transmission rebuild kit from rocky road solve my problem? Heres a link to a video where you can hear the whining. Sound familiar? Thanks.

Also, the previous  plopped the 1.6L engine in. Does that still use the stock transmission or is that from a sidekick too?

wow. All these views and no responses. So this website is obviously a wrong choice for seeking advice...

If you dig through my posts, I had a simmilar issue and also made a video. I'm in a class so I can't watch yours but if you watch mine and read the thread then you may find it useful.

Thanks for the reply. Your video sounds more like a throw out bearing. To me it sounds like my transmission has straight cut gears but Im pretty sure it doesnt.

Yes I agree I just had a chance to view yours. Have you tried putting the t case in neutral and putting the trans in 5th? May eliminate the transfer case as an issue.
