Has anyone had any problems with their cars making a loud winding sound when they accelerate? Im pretty sure its the transmission but im not 100percent so i thought i would ask anyways, see if it has happened to anyone else, it usually gets quieter past 3rd gear, but first second and somewhat 3rd seem to have a loud wind every time i put my foot on the gas

I don't know about winding, but my car used to make a noticeable whining noise when I got on the gas...turned out to be a hole in the rubber hose connecting the pcv valve to the intake manifold.

is it 6 speed or auto? could be a problem in a manual gearbox or could be the whining of the power steering pump, if the fluid is old as hell or low.

mine whines all the time...solid motor mounts...over 90 on the freeway the trans sounds like a baby...and then the good ol 12 bolt 4.11 gear whine..but i say its prolly ur diff making the noise...did u check ur trans fluid?

Ford_Sucks

not yet, school just started back up and work is killin me, so i gotta wait til this weekend to start checking everything over again, fluids are the first thing im gonna check.

Ford_Sucks

hwy, possibly a dumb question, is there another way to check transmission fluid or do i just have to jack it up, and undothe second cap or whatever on the transmission? And also if it is low when i check, whats the best transmission fluid to be putting in? Also i dont have to drain it right? i can just fill it up with the new stuff?

No. If you find that it's low, depending on the miles, it might be worth draining and refilling with fresh Mobil 1 synthetic ATF.

Don't forget to check the diff fluid while you're under there.

^^^ nope, gotta pull the plug, and regular old ATF III works fine. Some like the synchromesh better.

Ford_Sucks

sounds good, i'll have to do that this weekend, damn, haha

Ford_Sucks

ok so new proble, i got some time tonight, went to check it out, and my car is to damn lowered, i cant even get a jack underneath it to lift it and check the transmission, any alternatives other than taking it to a mechanic? i dont wanna waste money when im broke so some mechanic can screw me over and overcharge me.

Mine does. It whines "don't drive me so hard" "take it easy" "you almost hit that elderly lady crossing the street".

******* car doesn't shut up.

drive it on some 2X4's or use rhino ramps. i used some wood blooks when i went to my buddys lift

Ford_Sucks

I have ramps but i cant drive up em from the front because it is so lowered that the front bumper wont allow it
