transmission Noise-Need Help!!!
Hey everyone and anyone who can help me. I have transmission problems-or at least I think it's in the transmission. Here's the problem. When I have the car in first gear and have the clutch pressed down and give it a little gas to about 1.5 RPM and let the clutch off a little until the clutch engages, the car (transmission) makes a high pitched noise. It sounds like an air-powered impact gun, only at a lower noise level. Also, I can feel a slight vibration in the stick shift (that's why I think it's in the transmission). Mods in terms of my transmission include only an ACT street/strip clutch kit. After the car engages, and I accelerate, the noise goes away and don't hear it unless I put it into neutral again. And when it goes into neutral, the noise comes on and off until I rev the engine and then it'll go away. What's the problem??? Anyone got any suggestions?? Is it my synchros, clutch, or what?? How much will it cost and will I most likely have to get a new transmission??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I had the same noise i think you are describing. It happened coming back from from the Indy meet. I just replaced the clutch like 800 miles on it. Then the whining got louder until it got worse. I stoped hearing it when teh engine noise cancelled it out. I said something to a friend that my car doesn't sound right and he said let it go. Later that day my transmission started to bind up. So i drove it 5 miles home and parked it, transmission binding up evverytime i let off the gas of changed gears. I have to still take the transmission out and inspect it. The the gear oil in the transmission is full too. I think I broke a gear or some thing. Is something binding up in my transmission which is now toast. I'm not saying its you transmission but that is just what happened to me. Nick
