Posted 09/09/05 01:29 PM Share Posted 09/09/05 01:29 PM This is the same with almost every single car on the road.Its simply the bearing on one of the planetaries in 1st gear. It has to spin faster than any other cog in the box, so naturally it requires a heavier, tighter packed bearing which whines its head off... that's my understanding anyway, or something similar.A small gear spinning really damn fast.

But if they don't fix it I'll take it to a good 'box joint and see what they say I drive around Melb a lot I am constantly in stop/start traffic and the whine is really anoying.Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19965-1st-gear-auto-whine/#findComment-292737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffon Member 22 Member For: 21y 2m 3d Posted 10/09/05 01:19 AM Share Posted 10/09/05 01:19 AM I've successfully had a new gear set put into my auto under warranty, when I got it back the 1st gear whine is there, but much quieter, second gear whine vanished and it now changes much smoother, snappier. :roll: One thing you have to keep in mind is the mechanics at your dealers, some have the skills to rebuild your auto, most are "of the shelf" engine part fitters. :wink1: Tell them that you want to initiate the warranty process, they will then get some warranty rep from ION to make a decision on it.

Or have I got that confused? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/19965-1st-gear-auto-whine/#findComment-292795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
