Posted January 17, 20196 yr comment_566088 The higher pitch is me blipping the throttle. When coasting it's quite and on acceleration where the engine is actually pushing i.e. going down hill faster than gravity, it has this whine. The last transmission flush had an inch of shavings on the magnetic drian plug. I have a 4 speed 260z and a unknown welded diff. Plans to swap out to spare open diff. and swap in a 5 speed 240sx transmission. Any info on that swap would be helpful to have!!! PS 75mph is actually 60mph Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61422-whining-baby/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 17, 20196 yr comment_566114 "Whining baby" is not a title that makes people want to look. Here is a good writeup on the "71C" swap. There used to be another one by Nigel on Motortopia.com but it's gone now. @Nigel http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/240SX5spd/transmission.htm Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61422-whining-baby/#findComment-566114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 17, 20196 yr comment_566115 It's still there. The link may have changed. I'm not sure if that site is even maintained anymore though. https://www.motortopia.com/members/Nigel/mediapress/240sx-transmission-swap-14041/ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/61422-whining-baby/#findComment-566115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 17, 20196 yr comment_566122 I get a high-pitched whistle from the transmission at high RPM when I'm banging the gears. It sounds like some sort of extra boost, but it's probably just something wearing out.

January 18, 20196 yr Author comment_566169 Thanks I'll have to look at this stuff in depth when I start to put the car together. Rn I'm going to try and pin point the sound on a lift and see from there.
