i have an 05 TL AT. just few days ago, when i put my car into reverse, release the brake. i can hear lound whistling/whining noise, It SOUNDS like it's coming from the front passenger wheel or something. Not sure if it is though. but once i shift to drive. the noise will gone. and when i drive the car for a while, the car will not making the noise. can anyone tell me what is wrong with my car. sorry for the english.

i'm sorry i think it is not whistling/whining noise, it is more like an grinding sound

Why do you jump to the conclusion that it is the tranny?

Could be the brakes dragging for a bit. Or something driven by the belt was making noise (power steering pump, alternator, etc...)

To me sounds more like the "evil" PS o-ring area. Search for the PS O-ring fix. Im guessing your car has 100K (give or take 15K)

because the noise only come on when the car is cold and after i shift to reverse.

by the way, my car only has 70000 on it.

Yep I believe you have the O-Ring problem, look it up on the forum. There's a DIY for it. I changed it early November last year and it fixed the problem right away. Give it a try, it's only about 5 bucks max for the O-Ring.

i did changed the o-ring few weeks ago. i don't think it is the problem/.

went to the shop they changed the tie rod to me. will see if it fix the problem. they also told me that my engine mount are broken also. does those cost this clicking noise?

It shouldn't. The cure is well known and cheap.

I totally understand but if it makes you feel any better, every failure has been on factory fluid. Not a single incident reported on here on the Type F fluid and new switches.

replace the engine mount, seems it fix the problem.

So the noises went away after you changed out the mount? Did you just do one or all of them?

deepblue626

i did all the mounts
