'90 auto trans -> annoying whine
 

I have a '90 GXE with an automatic transmission. The tranny has an annoying whine when in drive, e.g., stopped but in drive, and especially when accelerating from a stop. I don't notice it at higher speeds, but I'm certain it is just getting drowned out by wind noise, etc. The annoying whine goes away instantly when shifted into park or neutral.

otherwise, it runs great, shifts smoothly, etc.

Any ideas what the problem is ?

thanks, john c.

hey man, im sorta new here, but i also got the same problem also on my 89 maxima (auto) and @ high revs that sound goes away sorry if im no help

I'm having the same issue with my 93.

Im having my tranny rebuilt here in AZ at a place that will do it for 1300.

You do realize that they sell rebuilt transmissions for about $450 less than that?

please tell us where to get the inexpensive rebuilts ... just in case this whine we are experiencing is a precursor to the tranny not working at all... --- thanks, john c.

It is right there on their site.
