Whining Noise at Low Speed

[rrc.swb]

This has been bothering me since I got the truck and do not know if this is normal.

Every time I move the vehicle from a stop, I can hear whining. After the vehicle gets up to speed, the whining goes away. I cannot say exactly the speed, my speedo is not that great.

At first I thought that the T-Case and Tranny fluids were low. I flushed them both and topped them up... did not go away.

Any ideas? Normal?

Probably a diff or tires.

Sounds like the normal gear train noises to me.

Probably a diff or tires.I did the diffs too, moved from 235/70-15 to 235/85-16 and still the whining.

Sounds like the normal gear train noises to me.That's what I think too... But I want to be sure.

I've never had a problem with deer while driving my 88. Must be some of those normal drive train sounds. :)

Deer as in those tasty 4 legged animals that like to wander across roads at dusk. They tend to run away from my 88, perhaps due to high pitched sounds that are 'normal'.

The whining is probably just attributed to it missing its old owner, or the result of it being secluded from other Rovers. Very common issue associated with misuse of a great truck. :tounge

WOW... I'm as slow as he IIA. :)

I drove the truck last night and the whining only happens when it 1st gear.

It's the tranny, probably a bronze bushing or slipped split ring that keeps the mainshaft gears tight. Mine did the same thing and was fixed after a quick rebuild.

Where did you buy the kit from?

[Wolf Fabrication]

Nice. Now I have to rebuild the tranny.

Didn't buy a kit, bought a "new" tranny! Once I got my old one out I saw what the issue was. Either way, you can get most parts for those those trannys and they are the easiest ones to rebuild in my experience.

In a Series if you can get all the gears and it does not jump out of gear going downhill the noise is just a Series being a Series in my opinion. On my 67 2A Wagon the squirrel cage drowns out any gear noise anyway.

A healthy Series tranny should not whine
