I recently had problems with my transmission. I have recently got it fixed at a local Transmission shop. My only complaint is I have a very low whining noise happening in first and second gear. As soon at it hits third gear the whining noise goes away. I have searched the forum and I have heard wheel bearing or transmission bearing could be the culprit. A recent stop at the dealer suggested it could be a transmission bearing. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? If it is the transmission bearing could this be a serious problem? Thanks for any help in advance.

 

if you have an automatic then you're tranny is on it's way out. mine did the same thing. i was still able to drive it around thought while they ordered my new one.

SSTS

 

Bring it back to your local Transmission shop and have them check it ...
It's still under garantie ,right ?

 

I actually want to take it to another Transmisson shop the guy took to long to repair the problem, I was just looking for what people have expereinced and maybe get some insight before I go to another transmission shop. The original shop fixed it pretty well where it shift good except offcourse in 1st and 2nd, where there is a slight hesitation and the whinning noise. I wish i just bough another transmission.

 

Why would you want to take it to another Transmisson shop ??? bring it back to the first
shop and request a loaner .....

 

Id bring it back to the place that did the work and make them fix it. I wouldnt pay for someone else to

 

mine makes tht noise too since the first day i got it back w/new tranny....i jus pretend i have a supercharger

 

mine whines also, but its not loud at all, i removed my intake resonator, and after like 2krpm it goes away..


i would say if its extremely loud, get it checkedout, but if it gradually fades away in 1, or 2nd then personally iwouldnt worry..

 

I think there's a known problem with the transmissions in 2nd gen. TL's between the first and second gear. It's a manufacturing defect I think, and I'm pretty sure that there was a recall.

Maybe you should take a look at acura TL recall info for your car's year. I had my transmission replaced already 3 years ago and it was covered under warranty.

 

i have the same noise and had it checked out and was told it normal dont believe it
