V_Langs_3.2TL

Hey everyone,

So when I put my car in reverse, I get a very audible (and very embarrassing) whine from the car. it is the same sound you'd think breaks to make but it happens whether the car is in motion or the breaks held.

It does get louder when I break, but I dunno how it'd be associated with them unless its the rotters?

anyways, I just had my tranny replaced (189000) and I'm about 2k into it since. had an engine mount replaced as well...


any clues? advice?
Thanks

stop by the trans shop and ask them to go for a ride with you

It's happening in forward as well.

thanks!

[joke] Humm . . . I only get that sound in reverse when I'm doing over 50 mph. [/joke]


Best of luck. What's the look and smell of the fluid?
Examine the drain plug magnet lately?

replaced (with one from acura/honda, even if they did not install it) or rebuilt by a shop, just want better clarification

then also what fluid did they use in the tranny...

almost sounds like the pump is already noisy , maybe low fluid

mainly designed to be quiet going foward since that is 99% of your travel
as far as EVERY car being noisy, not so much but ones likes ours do though, cause of the straight cut reverse gear that Honda likes to put in for the reverse gear

Hey everyone sorry for the late response...well the sound got worse and worse so I took it to the shop and found out I needed new Brakes!

new pads and rotors. got the rotors and now the car doesn't whine and nor does it vibrate the steering wheel when I brake!

maybe you should have also mentioned that before too

that was my second suspicion, my first being the VTEC fluid was low

Most cars do this in reverse, especially hondas. It might be due to the shortened gears.

eh, it had done that for years I always new it was the rotors...I was curious because I had JUST gotten the tranny fixed so I wanted to make sure it wasn't trans related.

I didn't want to fix it because I was saving for a brake kit. But, somehow heavy winds tore my rear bumper off the car so I have to get that fixed now
