I just recently installed a TCI 3500 stall with a Perma Tranny Cooler in my car and I noticed a slight whine in the transmission. Is this normal?

 

It only whines at 2000+ 1st through 3rd when gotten on it a little bit... Once it unloads into 4th there is no more whine... No whine at idle or regular acceleration under 2000.

 

are you 100% sure its the trans and not the rear?

 

yes...

 

k well that eliminates that possibility, kinda a dumb question but is it completely full of fluid? converter all the way on the input?

 

Yes and yes.

 

And it didn't do this before? These cars do have a slight whine but if you have a loud exhaust you can't hear it.

 

I think it's the transmission pump. Ever heard of this problem?

 

Hi since it stops in fourth I doubt its the pump , but since you added a cooler that is where i would look make sure there is fluild flowing through it ,the whine could be planets starving

 

I can't see how it could be planets when in third gear everything is turning 1:1.

LV2XLR8- I believe that this bearing noise that is making noise when loaded. It could be a bearing in the tc or in the trans however you said that it happened after the tc swap so I think that is where to look first. Vince

 

good point on third gear everything is turning as a unit.my brain was thinking 4th wrong !

 

Vince is the man. I trust him, and only him, when it comes to my transmissions

 

How serious of a problem is this? I do not have access to a lift to check it out. Thanks guys for all of your help!

 

I have had the same problem since my fuddle was installed.I was told it was gear whine,but i took that with a grain of salt.

It's definitely coming from the tranmission...
