transmission whine Q&A Review

Why does reverse gear on a car sound different than 1-6 gears ?

Reverse gears are straight cut, while all forward gears are helical cut. The way the gears engage when they are straight causes the whining sound.

What does it mean when a transmission is whining?

It makes a difference if you’ve got an automatic or a manual transmission as to what could be whining. The most common reason is a bad bearing, but both types have a lot of them, and without hearing the noise it’s futile to try to guess which one, or even what type. In general it‘s usually a roller or needle bearing that has been starved for lubrication and developed a flat spot or spots on one or several rollers or needles. The whining is usually the precursor to a bearing failure, but may make noise for as long as several years before failure. There’s no set time to predict when failure will occur other than sooner or later, but eventually it will fail. In most cases, the bad bearing will go quiet when the transmission is in the gear with the noisy bearing, which can usually ID it. When a gear is engaged, it is locked to the shaft involved, so the bearing is not turning, which makes the noise stop. If the noisy bearing is in the differential, it will make noise any time the car is moving. It is also possible the ring and pinion gears are worn, which will usually make noise when accelerating and go quiet when coasting, but not in all cases. You really need someone familiar with transmissions to drive the car to get a better diagnosis, and even then it may require disassembly to find the problem.

How do you fix a whining transmission? What causes a high-pitched whining noise in the car?

Hmm, one time I had a high pitched whining noise coming from the back of the car, which went away as soon as the mechanic removed the wife,,,,,, Old joke, (sexist too, so no need to point it out in comments) The whining noise is usually backlash in gears, in other words there is too much play between the teeth, so they bounce and chatter off each other. Whilst clearance is vital in meshing gears, (they would seize up otherwise) too much also brings problems such as whining. Straight cut gears suffer the most, (like reverse in a manual car) and even a new car whines a bit while reversing. The rest of the gears are helical cut, which reduces whine. The final drive is transmitted through bevelled gears, (differential) and sometimes these are hypoid, (spiral cut, on an offset centre line) to reduce noise. There are packing shims in the diff, to make the gears a tighter or slacker fit, as due to wear the clearance gets larger, so the gap should be adjusted to reduce whine. A quick check is to grab the prop shaft, and try to rotate it backwards and forwards. If there was zero clearance, it would not move. If there is a lot of slack, you have found your problem. Make sure it isn’t coming from the universal joints, because if they are badly worn the shaft will be off centre, which causes severe vibration under driving conditions. Once the source of the whine is located, fixing it is a bit of a skilled job during strip down and rebuild, adjusting the clearance to be within an acceptable range, and the fact you do not know how the whine originates, leads me to suggest you need the services of a skilled mechanic, rather than tackle the job yourself.

What causes a car transmission to whine?

Automatic transmission whine is often from the transmission oil pump struggling to suck up enough oil, this type of whine can usually be heard in all gears. Lack of oil flow to the pump is usually a dirty transmission filter from normal wear or deterioration of fiber clutch packs and bands , from lack of maintenance or age . Other factors possible Collapsed transmission filter restricting oil flow, bad or out of place filter gasket, o-ring letting air entering system. Bent transmission pan and incorrect transmission fluid level. Worn transmission front pump bushing causing poor gear mash , torque converter internal damage. All of the above whining usually can be heard while the vehicle is NOT moving, but maybe moving gear selector from gear to gear. If whine can be heard only when vehicle IS MOVING the whine can be isolated further by gear shifting manually and observing which gear or gears. Now with this information, components turning under load can be compared with a power flow chart if desired for further diagnosing . Some transmission lower gears are straight cut gears and will whine in first and reverse normally. Whining in other gears is probably gear or bearings wear. If the noise is Unusual, change the transmission fluid and filter, inspect well for loose valve body bolts and check for proper torque of all bolts. Inspect transmission fluid for metal Pieces metallic glitter in oil and any excessive clutch wear Material. I hope this is helpful.

Why does a 2002 Toyota Tacoma standard transmission whine? You only have 64k and it seems to have just started this.

It's called gear rollover. Helical cut gears have a tendency to whine when they are lubricated properly and get worse when the oil begins to break down. You should change out gearbox lubricants every 30k, possibly 50k at most. If you live in a warmer climate you will wear out the oil faster as heat is the enemy. Try using a high end, but compatible gear oil in there, Redline makes a damn good gear oil that quiets the nosiest of transmissions. Just make sure it's the right viscosity and properly rated. You most likely need a gl-4 90w oil in there but check your manual, I can't remember every vehicles specifications.

What does a whining transmission mean? Can low transmission fluid cause a whine?

Whining transmission could be a bad bearing, low fluid level, worn transmission oil pump. If a clutch is badly worn, the steel sliding on steel can make a whining noise. In general, it means there is a problem that needs to be addressed sooner than later.

My transmission whines only when I put the car in reverse and begin moving: what causes this and should I be worried?

My transmission whines only when I put the car in reverse and begin moving: what causes this and should I be worried? Many manual transmissions have straight cut gears for the reverse gear vs helical cut gears for forward gears. The straight cut gears are what cause the whine, helical cut gears are much quieter. It’s normal - nothing to worry about.

How do you fix a whining transmission? Does a bad transmission make a whining noise?

Depending on a bunch of different things it is possible for a transmission to “whine.” Such as a transmission designed for racing or a manual transmission in reverse gear. This whine happens because of the way the reverse gear is cut (straight cut). If it’s an auto transmission or a manual transmission whining in other gears (I could tell you to check fluid if it’s not a sealed transmission or other things but, really, if you’re asking this question), take it to a mechanic that works on transmissions. Typically, ,A whining transmission can be caused by wear ,and it is ,not a good thing, or even “just” low fluid. Though, I have seen BMW (I think) that had a whine from the dealer. I’d still take it to a mechanic soon for low fluid because it’s not supposed to leak (and I’m not going to work on those things)!

What causes whining noise in your car? I've repaired the transmission, checked the engine and replaced belts.

Noise and vibration diagnosis is among the most challenging situations to encounter. And you have provided virtually no information to work with. So here's a little basic guide of vital required information. Year, make , model , engine. Is the noise engine RPM related or vehicle speed related If it happens only while driving , is it under drive or coast situations? Is the noise directionally sensitive ? Does it occur only on gradual right or left turns? Dies the noise vary with the A.C. on or off? Are there ANY other situations in which the noise is louder? As with all automotive questions , the quality of your input has a direct relationship to the quality of the response.

Does overfilling a transmission with fluid cause whining?

YES it does. IF the fluid it too high it causes foaming and starts to whine. My 2000 Buick started whining when in manual low when transmission was hot. Fluid level appeared good. When the whining started I checked it and sure enough, foaming. Crap. Bad. Foaming is bad, air in the oil is bad. GM spec’d that Dexron VI is backwards compatible with vehicles with Dexron II and III. So I figured I would use it. NO, don’t. the fluid expands more than II/III does when hot, the level actually got “high” when the trans was very hot (summer highway traffic driving). Going back to Dexron III solved the problem. If it had a deeper pan and the level was sufficient for the filter to pick it up, no problem with Dex VI, but III didn’t have the problem like VI did. Note this only occurred in MANUAL LOW, Dex VI, trans temp pretty hot, but still within spec, but it still made the fluid foam and whine. Engine oil will do the same, but high enough it will start hitting the crank and it will whip the oil and make it foam. Foaming is bad, really bad.
