    Default Whining noise coming from Auto Gearbox?

    Have noticed a high Pitched whining noise, when Idleing....Put the auto in Nuetral and the whine gets bad, put the vehicle back in gear and it goes back to a light high pitched hum/whine.. When accelrating Whine disapears, when decelerating or breaking hard with load on drive line, noise disapears,,, when coasting or rolling to a stop with no load on driveline the noise comes back as a light high pitched hum....
    Auto Pump screwed?? Not sure where to start with this one...Now I am not even sure it is the gearbox.

    Any ideas.???......Car is a SS 5.7ltr Auto

    yeah colour of the trans fluid? should be a reddish pinkish colour from memory. maybe start with giving the auto box a service if it hasnt been done in a while, fluid flush, filter etc.


    If it isnt tuckin, it must be suckin

    Take it to a specialist auto repair mob. They surely will give a free opinion!

    Transmission Fluid is clean, seems to change properly. Anyway reconditioned auto now so its not auto, I have fully reconditioned auto, $800 in parts and 16 hrs labour, and still have the noise, Not auto........perhaps powersteering pump, rack..........No major noises coming from rack but I think pump is on way out...still cant find the noise,,,whine is rpm dependent so got to be something simple, about to snatch it....accessorie failure somewhere.....

    For the tranny: When was the fluid and filter last changed? Whining is often a blocked filter

    Do you have amped speakers? If so turn off the amp and try. Could be poor grounding?
