why is my tranny whining?
I have a stock 4l80e with at Yank SC3000 converter. I have been getting a horrible rattle sort of noise around 1800rpm for a while now, but now I also have a pretty loud whine and i feel like the truck has alot less power. Also, the other day i put it in R when it was very cold out, gave it some gas, and nothing happened. I put it back in park and tried again and it was fine. I also noticed that when it's cold it seems like i have to give more gas to get the truck to go. when it warms up it seems better, but still not the way it should be. What do i do?

my converter wined like the front pump, when they go bad. I was about to pull the tranny out to rebuild it again, but I noticed the whine would go away when the verter locked up. I called my Converter guy and he confirmed it. told me to bring it in and he would open it up with me there. cost would be 150-300 depending on whats wrong with it. I payed 600 for the thing so I thought that would be cheper then a new one

well, it turned out to be nothing. I just got back from new england transmission. they road tested it with a techII style scanner and inspected the fluid/pan etc. Everything is functioning perfectly. I guess i must have been hearing the whipple whining and thought it was the tranny. I feel much better now. Almost time to order the 408
