T-56 Whining
I have a 2002 Camaro SS with the T-56 Transmission. The car is making a whining noise in all gears. Mostly noticeable under light accel. I've already rebuilt the diff. The noise did not change. I'm looking for any information or suggestions on what the problem might be in the transmission. Or has anyone else had or have this problem? Thanks!

I Only hear it when moving under light acceleration. goes away when clutch pedal is pushed down. I mostly notice it at low RPM's but that could be because the exhaust noise drowns out the whining... Vehicle speed doesn't seen to affect it....

It really sounds like a gear whine, I don't expect for some to tell me excatly what the problem is. I'd just like to know if anyone else is having any gear or whining problems with their T-56 Transmissions.

Mine developed exactly the same whine as you have described it last year. So, I changed all the bearings myself, but to my disgust...the freaking whine didn't go away . Somebody told me that I need to change the input shaft and cluster gear. I find the whining very annoying, but it kind'a sounds like a kennebell supercharger. Lol!

what kind of power? i burned up input and cluster gears several times due to fluid sloshing away from gears, but that was at 700+ whp. it would whine like described and you would really notice it during low speed slow gear changes. went to a pump setup and solved the issue. check the fluid level if your not making big power maybe its low but damage is likely already done

Yes thats true, It does go away when I turn up the stereo...lol
The car is basically stock with just Intake, Exhaust and ECM programming for mods. Its not as loud as a supercharger but is defenitly annoying. I mostly hear it when crusing with my foot lightly on the throttle. Sounds the same at city and highway speeds, even in fourth gear... If some of you guys are having problems with the input and cluster gears, I'm guessing thats where my noise is coming from.
