These boxes can and often do make a slight whine..... from their Planetary gears. Mine does this and has done so for 12 years. Zero issues with the box otherwise.
Slight whine in 1st.. a bit less in 2nd and gone when the box shifts out of those.
That's apparently what identifies it as a planetary whine.
Being a worrier.. Repeatedly or at least every few years I've had it checked and road tested by the Local ZF rebuilder.
Each and every time.. They said it was not worth the effort Or cost :-) to try and remedy.
Claiming that they had Zero confidence in mixing 'n matching a planetary gear assly from parts.. that they could Guarantee to not have some whine... a 3000$ gamble basically.
Unless they could source a complete Brand New planetary assembly.
Which they no longer can.
