As I was getting in my truck this morning at the grocery store I noticed a high pitched whine coming from behind the engine. I immediately thought exhaust, but when I got home I tested it by plugging the exhaust with some rags- no change. I got under the truck by the drivers side trans area and the whine was much more prominent. The whine follows the revs, if that helps any. Also, I had the clutch and slave done about 5,000 miles ago.

Google doesn't seem to be much help, all I get is help for automatics....

 

Can you apply light pressure to the clutch pedal and see what happens?

 

 

whoops, sorry about the two vids, they're the same.

 

Inspection plate contacting flywheel? Anything in contact with belt/pulleys?

 

No cover, so that a negative. Belt and pulleys are clean. Took it to the shop, my mechanic is suspecting a throw-out bearing, but told me to come back when the whine is louder...

 

Wah I would guess a bearing but no idea which haha

 

I'm changing my guess to being low on trans fluid. I need to get new drain and fill plugs for when I change the fluid next. Anyone know the part numbers for those two items? I've tried fordparts and fordpartsgiant and nothing.

 

Surprise! You need to buy a new tranny for those parts.





idk actually.

 

I am going to hit up the JYs in the area later on this week...we'll see.

 

Well, it's not the trans fluid being low. I topped it off yesterday (there was a leak from the drain plug not being on fully tight) and it actually made the whine more noticeable. Back to square one.

 

Well, I found a good deal on a trans from a '99 4.0/4x4. Getting it sometime next week, it's coming from Ohio. It was $600 shipped and about $600 to get it put in. So instead of over $2000 being dropped, it'll be close to $1300. The info on the trans said it only had 69,5xx miles on it, so I thought that was pretty good.

 

Ever figure out what it was??

 

Will a OHV trans work on the SOHC or are the bellhousings different?

 

Mike: Nope.

Cole: Not sure, be worth a checking into tho.

 

According to TRS forums, the transmissions will interchange. I just had an "OH ****" moment when you said that. I didnt even think about that when I bought it.

 

URGENT HELP NEEDED!

There is a 3/4" gap between the '99 trans and the '02 transfer case...Could I get a '99 transfer case-would the '02 driveshaft bolt to the '99 transfer case? It's on the lift right now...time is money. I need help quick.

Thanks!
