Lately my transmission's been making a pretty lousy whirring or whining noise that gets worse as rpms go up. It sounds like the kind you hear when some cars go in reverse, but worse. someone told me my transmission might be on its way out. Any ideas?

any specific gear?

But whirring generally comes from worn out gears.


My Car

Mine makes noise when you crusing at any speed no matter what gear you are in. Its not very loud, you can't hear it over the radio.

I just figured it was the getrag since they are inhertly noisy.

1st gear I notice the most, then also it's pretty bad in 3rd, and not the greatest in 2nd either.

Possibly a bad drive shaft. Happened on my Z24

How much did it cost to fix?

I guess you are talking about a manual transmission? Have you checked the fluid level lately? Maybe it is time for a fluid change too.

I didn't get the specifics on why this happened but basically the shaft ended up damaging the tranny case. At that point they had to rebuild most of the tranny. The total cost was 2600 CND and that included taxes and a new clutch.

Bring it to a tranny expert. They will give you a good idea if that's the problem.
