Really weird gear whine all of a sudden

trueblue02GT · June 15th, 2009, 06:26 PM

So yesterday with my friends in my car i dropped it into 1st going like 25-30 and dropped the clutch and i heard a loud cracky bang noise. my idle dropped if i didnt give it gas so i pulled in my driveway and popped my hood, and my intake opened up in the middle, stupid JLT. so i fixed it and tightened the shit out of it and now it runs perfectly fine, but i have used gears and they whine, but before they used to just make a constant whine sound while in neutral or in gear without accelerating, but now they whine, but its really choppy and weird. instead of making a constant "errrrrrrrr" noise, its like... "er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er". any idea what the hell happened, and if its bad?

trueblue02GT · June 15th, 2009, 08:07 PM

No clue what it is.... guess i should take it to a shop. is it bad to drive on? or is it just gona make noise.

did you replace the bearings in the rear end when you had the gears installed?

mrsinister2424 · June 15th, 2009, 08:47 PM

trueblue02GT · June 15th, 2009, 08:51 PM

If its what mine was, i wouldnt drive it the mechanic that worked on it told me i was lucky it didnt lock up on me.. And i drove it for like 1,000 miles before i got it fixed.. If i was you i wouldnt..

that almost sounds like what happened to me in my Trans Am just after I bought it. i chipped some teeth off the ring gear and it quickly became undriveable. take it to a shop.

i shift into 1st when reaching the stop sign, 2nd is more then enough to bring me to almost a stop and i dont do that till about maybe 20-30

if i remember right first gear redlines at like 28 anyways lol

trueblue02GT · June 16th, 2009, 03:19 PM

OK so update real quick...last night driving home from work i sped up a little off the stoplight cuz i had to get over a lane and my tires spun unusually bad and its dry out and i hear that crack noise again. so im scared to drive on it and idk wtf that noise is. can someone tell me what it could be so i could talk to a mechanic?

mounder27 · June 16th, 2009, 03:27 PM

you are gonna need a new ring and pinion set if it is whining with a pulse, and the whining is bad because the ring and pinion angle is off, that means the the gear will wear down fast and hense the broken teeth, may as well but new gears and go from there....

trueblue02GT · June 17th, 2009, 12:55 AM

Fuck. well i guess now is a good time to get 4:10's then. is it bad to drive my car around just like short distances? i need it for work. fuuuck.

mounder27 · June 17th, 2009, 02:51 AM

i would say you can get away with it but may end up screwing up your differential while driving around, i would swap the stuff asap, and dont buy the gears used...

trueblue02GT · June 17th, 2009, 08:46 PM

Just talked to my gear guy, he said most likely i chipped a tooth on my ring gear. so i'm gona be ordering a new set of 4:10's and putting them in soon!

GTermi · June 17th, 2009, 09:14 PM
