Uh-Oh...Is that pinion bearing whine? Posted by Robster501 [Email] (#417) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Robster501) on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 16:47:53 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So 1989 t900 has been running great since replacing the faulty ECU. However, today when on the highway I noticed for the first time a faint whining type noise at speeds. The car always whines when decelerating in 2nd and 3rd gear(from what I understand is not a huge deal), but this is the first time I noticed it in 4th or 5th gear. I thought it was the turbo at first but his sound is slightly deeper than the spooling turbo. Its not loud, it can barely be heard over the engine. Is this the pinion bearing?
If this is indeed the pinion bearing, I know I should stop driving it, but I need it to last until december break before I'd even consider being able to put a different transmission in the car. THink it will make it until then? THanks-Rob
