engine whine

bro we need a vid

I hope you have a good relationship with your dealer ...... :)

Can you tell if the "whine" is coming from the engine or drivetrain .. ??

Does the whine vary with the engine speed ...... or the gear speed .. ??

(well, that question made sense when I first typed it ..... :popcorn:)

If it sounds like this, then you're all good. I suspect it's the sifter bushing. I installed Whiteline transmission insert, Perrin rear shifter bushing and MTEC shift spring Kit and noticed the whine.

I love hearing gear box whine for some reason..

It makes it sound like you have a twin screw supercharger under the hood. :D

While that is true, that's not why "I" like it. I just think it makes the car feel more 'racecar.' I would do those mods JUST to get that sound..

..which makes me wonder, after those mods, why is it whining? Most gear boxes that whine that loud use spur gears right? The 86 boxes have helical gears right? Someone please shed some light on this for me..

Could it be a bad bearing in the transmission? As much as I like the sound too, it is not normal to be that loud. I would take it to the dealer. I'm thinking a new transmission is going to be the solution.

The race car whine comes from straight cut gears, however in our case I think it has something to do with sound transfer into the cabin from the gearbox

This- spur/straight gears whine a shit ton, helical gears don't whine as much

Also of you want to hear spur gear whine on a normal car most Hondas in reverse use a spur gear and make a cool whine lol

Most cars do :) ours is no different. My '02 WRX whines like a som'bitch
