Need some help with strange noise......

bullitt01 · November 25th, 2008, 04:08 PM

I have a 2001 Bullitt and I have this whine like noise, very short just really when the car is cold and only when I release the clutch to take off. Just under normal driving conditions, thought it was the gears in the rear end, but I just had them upgraded to 3:73's yesterday but the noise is still there. It does not happen after the car has gotten warmed up and just started a couple of months ago. Please can someone help me with this, thanks

i've personally wondered if it was maybe just the tranny being cold.. it's happened to me a couple times

bullitt01 · November 25th, 2008, 04:46 PM

That has crossed my mind too, just not sure.......wanting to make sure my tranny is not about to take a dump on me.......thanks

Before my tranny went out a bunch of my buddy's said it sounded like it was supercharged like a twin screw/roots style supercharger. Check your tranny fluid. Now granted my car made this sound continuously but its always a possibility. Check your rear end fluid also.

bullitt01 · November 25th, 2008, 05:14 PM

Yea been doin some research online and keep hearing the same thing check fluid levels.......will be doin that this weekend.....

BLK01SS · November 25th, 2008, 05:16 PM

If it is your daily I would do it sooner than that. You don't want to be drivin around w/ low/no fluid in anything engine, tranny, or rear end b/c it all cost money to replace.

zinc02GT · November 25th, 2008, 05:24 PM

I'm 95% sure it's just the transmission... Mustang transmissions are notorious for whining

bullitt01 · November 25th, 2008, 05:25 PM

I will probably park it and cause I work 2 jobs so the earliest I can do it is on Thanksgiving, hopefully it just needs tranny fluid and nothing is damaged

BLK01SS · November 25th, 2008, 05:39 PM

Yeah just make sure you get it done b/c i know you don't want to have to fork out that mod money for another tranny lol.

remove your front bumper to gain access to your differential gears, remove the 4 of them with a 12mm screwdriver, a breaker bar, a DVOM, and a dinner fork. inspect the teeth on the gears to make sure that the gears have teeth on them. if not, you will have to take the gears to a mechanic to have them re-toothed.

Yeah definitely sounds like a tranny. Mine was doing that last year and I drained the fluid and put full synthetic with a bottle of lucas oil in there. Dead silence since...

bullitt01 · November 26th, 2008, 11:34 AM

Awsome, yep left it home today dont want to risk it so will be changing it tomorrow, gonna do the same all synthetic and a bottle of lucas oil as well.......Now I am a little concerned about you Master Mecanich........lol

SilverFreakGT · November 26th, 2008, 07:24 PM

what kind of lucas are you all puttin in the tranny? Oil stabilizer? Is that safe?

schwarzGT · November 26th, 2008, 11:10 PM

I used the transmission fix...im not sure if the oil stabilizer would be good. Mobil one synthetic ATF is what I used, I had that whine and some crappy synchros. It shut the whine up but the damn synchros are still crap...but from what I gather from this forum that is a common thing on the 3650

Regulator · November 26th, 2008, 11:14 PM

Is it only on take off or does it occur during driving with the car in gear as well? If it's only on take off it might be the tob, if it's during normal driving it's probably coming from the gears, like others said check the fluid levels

Indeed you can.

bullitt01 · November 27th, 2008, 12:05 AM

Its only on take off, the gears were just replaced on Monday and I had this noise prior to them being replaced. The noise is not coming from the rear of the car I got pretty good with figuring out which part of the car a whine was coming from after having the gears whine for a little bit....lol and as far as the TOB I just had it and the clutch replaced a year ago.....could it have gone bad again that quick? When it went out the last time the noise was not like this it was a constant low whine......MAN I AM SO TIRED OF ALL THESE WHINES I HAVE HAD OVER THE LAST YEAR.........LOL its driving me crazy....and to top it all off I cant get a P1000 code to reset so I can get my tag.......its has not been a good time lately.........thank you for everyone's help.....as for the lucas I pick up a bottle of the tranny fix not the oil stabilizer.

Regulator · November 27th, 2008, 12:12 AM

It's possible the TOB went bad that fast, was it OEM Ford or aftermarket?
