Mysterious Drivetrain Noise While Decelerating
Mysterious Drivetrain Noise While Decelerating
I'm hearing a high pitched wah-wah-wah-wah sound when I'm decelerating, which is most noticeable at low speeds (e.g. when slowing down from 20 mph to a stop). Is this a noise a failing torque converter would make?
Normally it starts above 80kmh but you will hear it at lower speeds the worse it gets.
Pretty much a one hour job to get it replaced.
It's hard to tell exactly where it is coming from. It is very subtle, yet noticeable. It isn't a scraping or squealing noise. It kind of sounds like the noise a jet engine makes when it is shut off, but with a sinusoidal pattern to it. It is present at all speeds, but barely perceivable likely due to road noise, which is why I can hear it most when coming to a stop.
