# Something I believe to be a transmission bearing noise -->

Posted by Kaleb (Black '93 GXE 5spd) on September 05, 2002 at 20:24:28:

Note I have a '91 5spd in the car.

The transmission had bad internal bearings as soon as I put it in so my mechanic ripped it apart and replaced all four. Everything was fine after that.

Now, since this weekend's trip to Mississippi, I get a Wrrr type bearing noise under LOAD in 4th or 5th gear. It happens in all gears, but I notice it most in those two gears at speeds of 60-75 MPH. If I take the car out of gear there is no noise, and if I let off the throttle the noise is not there, or not as apparent. I'm thinking differential bearings but I'm not sure.

The fluid level is topped off.
I have no spoken to my mechanic about the noise.

Looking for personal experience with a similar noise from you guys. Thanks.

- 4th and 5th gear make it sound like output shaft or differential bearings. if it were lower gears, it'd be input shaft stuff. nm Matt (93SE) 00:08:58 9/06/2002 (0)
- Hey kaleb can you tell what this sound is... Kevin (93SE 5sp) 21:20:23 9/05/2002 (0)
