  View original topic: Low Speed Trans Whine

My trans is whining at low rpms that is very noticeable in first gear (It sounds like going in reverse). In second gear it is barely noticeable. The noise is non-existent in 3rd and 4th gears. This is a newly rebuilt Syncro transmission with locking rear differential. Could my larger wheel/tire setup (225/70/16) be causing the noise?

I would contact rebuilder.sounds like a mix of new and old gears.

or a less than perfect bearing on the 1st gear end of the stack. As you engage higher gears, most of the reaction pressure moves to the other end.
