Also makes the noise in reverse. Does not make the whining noise when it’s in either park or neutral free revving so I’m assuming it’s trans related. It will even do it when I put my foot on the brake and stall it up a bit. The whining sound coincides with the RPM of the engine as in it gets higher pitched with higher RPM. The transmission has had an oil flush about 6 months ago along with a billet servo and new shift solenoid done at MV auto’s and has been generally running fine since then although it does slip when hitting 3rd/4th gear under full throttle at higher RPM’s sometimes. Any ideas as to what this could be? I know I’m probably looking down the road of a trans rebuild but hoping someone else has had this whining noise before and knows what the cause was. Cheers in advance.

Yep it only started after I washed it which I found strange but I’m sure it was coincidental lol. Nope definitely not coming through the sound system lol. It’s mechanical. 1

SHMIKO_S14A New Member 22 Member For: 9y 2m 29d Posted 15/01/18 07:59 AM Author Posted 15/01/18 07:59 AM Yep already done that, coming from the transmission as far as I can tell.

SHMIKO_S14A New Member 22 Member For: 9y 2m 29d Posted 31/01/18 08:25 AM Author Posted 31/01/18 08:25 AM Ended up having the transmission fully rebuilt and noise is now gone, took it in to a good transmission place and they said it was the converter bearings squealing so decided to bite the bullet and get it built and strengthened.

But as long as you're happy, it's all good
