Ok, so I have a 2k stock. Auto tranny. It has 61k on it and I bought it used.

There is a definate transmission whine, but not something that someone would notice right off the bat, but it's there. I had no transmission whine at all on my 96 Max. Just curious if the 2k Max's auto tranny makes noise and I gotta get used to it or I should go get it checked out (got a warrenty when I bought the car.)

Oh, and I checked the fluid, it's still nice and red, no burn smell to it. I did a drain and fill about 1k ago.

 

Any info at all on this one?

 

can't say that i've noticed any whine on my 2k. nor have i read any info about one.

does it whine all the time? or just at certain times/shifts/etc?

 

It whines through all gears. The best comparisson I can make is it sounds exactly like the tranny whine that was in my parents old van, which was normal for that van. Just didn't think it was normal for a Max.

 

i'll pay attention to mine the next time i'm out and about. if mine does...can't say that it is loud enough for be heard obviously.

 

i take that back...i do have a whine now that you mention it. i noticed it again today.

never given it much thought though - i've always assumed it was from my intake or fuel injectors or something like that.

it does it anytime you hit the gas. i can really tell it at low speeds - you can hear the difference when you let off and then apply the gas.

 

Heh, welp, then I guess that is relatively normal, ok, as long as it isn't the tranny dieing on me.

 

i have a 2001 and i hear the same thing!!!! It sounds like how the old Ford minivans would make and it's really appearent at 1st and 2nd gears...I'm going to the dealer this week..will let you know if this is something crititcal.

 

I will honestly be waiting anxiously to find out what you learn.

 

Any update Takkar? Just curious what the dealer said before I take mine in.
