Whine noise in reverse *FIXED!!*
I have been having the "lovely" whining sound coming from my Transmission when I shift into reverse when the trucks cold. Hearing that the sound is somewhat "Normal" and not damaging to the transmission, I hadn't really given it any thought.
Yesterday I was doing my Annual summer fluid change, and I noticed my ATF fluid was a little on the low side, it was right at the "Min" mark in neutral at idle. I dumped some ATF+4 in enough to bring it about 3/4 of the way to the MAX mark and let it sit overnight..
This morning when I got in and started her up to go to work.....I was shocked....no more reverse whine!!
While I am happy the noise is gone, Im hoping I havnt done any damage to my tranny from having low fluid.... Its still shifting fine, no hesitation / slippage, etc.
Anyways, if you have the "Death whine", check your ATF, maybe its low
