    2nd gear whine?

    I'm not too good with transmissions and their symptoms so bare with me. Lately I've been hearing this distinct whine while driving. It only happens in second gear at low RPM's I dont notice it in any other gears because or at higher RPM's. Anyone have this on their manuals?

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    Make a clicking noise when you're driving in a circle with the wheel turned all the way left or right?

    Might be a hub bearing.. How old is the gear oil and check to see if the trans is toped off.

    The gear oil is 15k miles old about two years old.

    If it was low shouldn't it whine in other gears?

    trannies whine when the gears are subject to more stress than they are designed for for a while. just take it easy in second. many trannies do whine like that and dont be too concerned until you lose the gear. just be aware and see it it gets louder

    If its low then it should my second gear is a Lil bit noisy as well but only at about 3k if I'm riding it out. I just changed my bearings Saturday because I was getting a humming sound at strangely certain rpms go figure. Alot quieter now.
