TRD3000GT Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 when hammering arround london I always get a strange whining noise in second gear, only when accelerating ? Any Ideas, I've read loads or forums that say the 6spd is a bit noisy, etc etc. I suppose Im just looking for some more assurance!

Andrew Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Never noticed mine whining or being noisy. I could be wrong but I think they maybe refering to the 6 speed being notchy on gear change sometimes clunky. Can't help really sorry. I'll try listen out tonight on the way home, but can't remember the 6 box being noisy as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only noises my Supe makes like that are the turbos boosting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith C Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Mine does the same, but in 16000 miles it's not got one iota worse. Basically, unless the box actually fails, I wouldn't worry about *any* whines, noises, thuds or clanks it makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastisnice Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Is it worst in 1st gear? I had this problem with my ex wrx but not with the supra.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 The only time I ever hear it is when im in second gear overtaking subarus, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez sutherland Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Mine doesn't whine in any gear - but is a bit of a bastard to get into second some times! I think the supra gear boxes are pretty bomb proof though - I wouldn't worry unless it fails (the worry - they are big money!).
