Does anyone else have a whine in the trans/axle when rolling under 20mph? It is fairly prominent. Sounds a bit like a dry gearbox or something??
TIA

 

I have it, doesn't bother me.

 

So this is normal? It doesn't bother me really but I want to make sure it doesn't need something done to it??

 

i have it. along with some linkage clicking ( not DI)

edit- im in 09. ss

 

ya,i hear it in my new 09 too.I think it's kinda cool.

 

i hear it in my 06

 

i also hear it as well along with the linkage also an 09

 

I believe its normal guys..just the nature of the tranny. Mine does it too and my 06 ss/sc did it as well.

 

i had it. Normal

 

i have it. its normal./

 

Thanks guys

 

totally normal

 

shift outta first. welcome to the F35 transmission.

 

AHEM!!! F35

 

damn. was thinking about where i could get a LSD and i miss-typed. thanks for the correction Zen.

 

dont need newbs thinking we have an infinity car for our trans, you know how they are, n00bs

 

no we dont. silly newbsies.

 

I have heard a few guys say that I transmission fluid change fixes a lot of the whine

 

speaking of whine. i has a problem when i go wot.

 

it may help. mine has been changed before, and i never really notced much of a difference.

i has same!!!

 

rear diffs tend to whine... I have alot of slap in the linkage and in the transmission mounts.. definately looking to reinforce & poly bush this car asap!

 

What kind of fluid is in these TC Cobalts from the factory? Can we try some synthetic fluid maybe to quiet her down? Is it the trans or the diff thats doing the lion share of whinning?

 

sounds like gear whine to me

 

The manual says GM trans fluid part number 88862472. But I cant find anything on the web that describes what this is.

It's probably a special semi-synthetic blend. The mineral oil actually helps the gears break in and last longer. And everyone I've ever talked to about this type has told me to ONLY use exactly what is recommended, period.

It's probably $15 a quart. But isn't it supposed to last the life of the vehicle?

 

check media.gm.com and go to North America>Products>Car engines/transmissions

under the F35 they tell you what fluid it is, I'd look it up for you but I'm not that ambitious
