Hey!
Someone else on a thread, months ago and long lost to me and to the search engine at least with my key word choices, described that their transmission made a sound like a turbo spooling up.
I used to be into model aircraft, not in a big way, and had a tiny 40,000rpm electric turbine for thrust. It sounds like that. Or remotely like a teapot whistle.
So anyway, rebuilt my transmission, end to end, and minus a couple blips --sticking governor and too-short OD servo piston-- it works great. Starting this afternoon, after 3 days of driving, it starts making this noise now. Intermittent.
In tune with engine rpm/throttle and more noticeable at low speeds (maybe just less road noise). Constant at first when I got into the car to leave work, and seeming to go away once warmed up; though maybe not for good, as I heard it once more on the way back home.
Hoping either the one guy who had this symptom, or others, will chime in with what it is, and, if it's a problem! Maybe it's a whine that just now passes into the audible range; and it's normal, not a worrying symptom, and I can just turn on the music to mask it?
