do you have a m6? mine makes a similar noise, not all the time though. usually just when shifting 1st to 4th.

 

Need to have it looked at asap. Had any work done on that diff? Either pinion bearings or ring & pinion singing from improper mesh ,this is a stock geared 10 bolt right?

 

yea this is stock 10 bolt with automatic. I had dealer change fluid at 3k mi. then replaced ring and pinion at about 5k, then they replaced the whole rear end! Still makes noise tho. I'm at a loss and my local dealer knows less about T/As than Ford!! I preciate all the help guys

 

I haven't had the "marbles" sound like a lot have had but I have had and still do have the loud whining noise and it is still there after the gears were replaced, and then an entire new rear-end was swapped in. If it is still there, call Pontiac Customer Service and file a complaint (will get things going much quicker) and they will send a Rep or Engineer out to look at it and try and help the technicians fix the problem. DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU IT IS NORMAL!!! IT'S NOT! If it is still there then file a defect notice. This doesn't mean you will loose your car to lemon law but will give you more leverage in getting the car fixed right whether it is by GM or by a mechanic of your choice and GM refunding you for the work.

Keep on them and don't let it go and say fine I will pay for it myself...it's under warranty use it!
