Posted June 24, 200618 yr comment_172184 Hey guys, I bought the 74 260z in November from a guy who had it on jackstands for 5 years. I rebuilt suspension and swapped to 71 SUs. Took it for a drive today and went to McDonalds about 2 miles. Once leaving, I noticed 2 noises I didn't notice before. 1) From the transmission tunnel a sort of constant wooooossshhhhhh noise. Could this be due to transmission fluid? Haven't really checked it out yet, might be a good idea to check it. 2) From the rear, maybe differential, a constant low whine I'd say describes it. Also, haven't check any fluids in that. Other than the fluid possibility, are there any other things to check out? Can hear a know, might be u joints, when accelerating kinda hard.Anything will help a ton!

Haven't really checked it out yet, might be a good idea to check it.-I also have this problem, Does it go away when you engage the clutch? If so then it's probably the throwout bearing. I would also check the tranny oil because if it's low it could be contributing to the wear. Change it to redline MTR and it'll shift alot better. 2) From the rear, maybe differential, a constant low whine I'd say describes it. Also, haven't check any fluids in that. -Mine has a low whine, but it always has since I can remember. I think it's common in these cars. Check the oil, if it's old change it.
