A couple of days ago i developed a strange 'whining' noise from the trasmission.

Not sure if its the gearbox or the rear diff. Only noticable at low ish speed (0-25/30 mph), and when going back on the gas after lifting off.

I changed the oil in the gearbox and the diff this morning, but the noise is still there (might be a bit quieter though)

Anybody out there had a similar problem, if so any help would be great.

Failing that does anyone know where I might get it checked out.

Cheers all, James.

p.s. the car is a '92 Legacy Turbo

 

James,

I have had this since November. I presume it is the gear box as it started only happening in 4th and 5th but it now does it in all gears other than 1st.

I am in no way a transmission techie, but maybe it's worn bearings??

Anyone like to make any suggestions?

Zak.

 

A friend of mine is going to have a look at it tomorrow. I'll let you know what he thinks.

Thinking back though, this all started after the car got caught on the ramp at the local exhaust centre.

I hope I don't have to replace the gearbox, I read somewhere that a re-build can cost £600

 

James,

how did you get on with the diagnosis?

I'm going to take mine to ScoobySport to let them have a look. Looks like I may need a rebuild.

 

Been very busy over the weekend, so still none the wiser. Hopefully have a diagnosis today. Let me know how you get on though won't you

James
