transmission problem revisited
i started my svx this afternoon and was listening to the whining noise coming from the transmission and i realized that the noise is coming from the very front of the transmission. what do you guys think the problem is ?

Re: transmission problem revisited
a little history of symptoms would help. Just a blind guess would be the diff...

Re: transmission problem revisited
Does it sound like a card in a bicycle wheel? Does it only occur while moving? Does it become hardly noticable after a certain speed but only to return upon slowing down? If so you are most likely looking at a blown front diff.

Re: transmission problem revisited
when i bought the car first gear was unusually long and the transmission made a loud whining noise. that's the only symptoms that i really remember. also when i bought it it was flashing power on the dash, which i now know where trouble codes.......

Re: transmission problem revisited
it's a whining noise, you can't hear it after first gear.

Your power light was/is flashing. It is logical that you should run a diagnostic check. This should tell you what is wrong. The how to section here, will show you how to do it. End of story.

Re: transmission problem revisited
if you have transmission codes, you need to see the how-to for checking trans codes and the green power light will flash, not the check engine light

Re: transmission problem revisited
i also read that you can check trans codes with the shift selector. is that true ?

Re: transmission problem revisited
to check the trans codes there is a process that you do with the shifter... something like turn key on, move to "D", then move to "3" and press manual button, move to "2" and depress man button, move to "1" and press manual button... Not what it actually is, just something similar-This is the only way to check trans codes on your own... i'll try finding the exact way since it seems the search function of this forum goes unused by so many or it must only appear for me at the top
