ok, so i got this noise in the tranny.
having had a oil-leak, i tought i was simply running low on oil. fixed the leak and filled up with fresh oil (swepco), noise is still there. when slowing down and downshifting, i have a "whiny" noise very similar to the noise you get when driving in reverse and letting of the gas. it's there in 2nd but even louder in 1st ... shifting itself is fine, no crunching or anything. any ideas?

Time for a new tranny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
Seriously whine is bad news. It might go for a long time but eventually something will let loose. |

drain some of the oil, look for "stuff" in it.....
does the noise change if you put a little force on the shifter in any direction? |

Take it apart now before a gear shatters or a bearing dies. James in SD (redbeard) should be able to give you advice.

ok, now that i had some time to think about it, i have 2 more stupid questions: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
1) if it's a bearing, why does it only make noise in the lower gears? shouldn't it whine regardless of the gear selected? i've tested higher gears, and there's no noise to speak of. 2) it just sounds like driving in reverse. so, why IS reverse making that noise in first place? and why doesn't it hurt the tranny?

the gears for reverse are straight cut instead of helical (I think???)

Andy...is this noise only in reverse? If so, every car/truck makes a whining noise in reverse due to the straight cut gear. If this is all that you are worried about...then I don't think there should be anything to worry about.

Andy,
if its been spend for $2500 and the intermediate plate bearings hasn't been changed, I'll be damn surprised! do you hear the whinning change when you accerate or de-accerate a bit on lower gears only? such as 1 & 2? if so, there's a good chance that the plate bearings is giving you problems. you see, the force of the two gears meshing on input and pinion shafts, does move the shafts apart a bit (that can get worse if the intermediate plate bearings are shot. Now, the other set of bearings in the gearbox case that hold the pinion shaft can be a problem if the beveled gears are moved around a bit. That usually cause the whining. The surface contact between two gears can make incrediable noise if you move one gear away or closer to the other gear, hence the whining noise. I do not think the differential bearings would be the problem but I would double check to be sure its in good shape. Another area to look at, when you remove the gears from input shaft, take a closer look at the needle bearings that goes inside the gears, check that the surface of the race are smooth, not pitted....if so, there's the noise! hope this helps... jerry |

Could be you ran it low enough of oil so the top intermediate bearing is sloppy now causing the noise elsewhere.

Usually when you hear the noise in reverse and the lower gears it's a bearing at the intermediate plate, as you shift into higher gears you are moving away from the plate and the bearing, then there is less load on the bearing and it gets quieter!
