Installed a MGW shifter on Wednesday, and I drove her around and did not hear anything abnormal. Thursday on my way home, I downshifted and hit 3rd at 50 and punched it only to have to slam my brakes on due to a 18 wheeler cutting me off, and upon acceleration I now have a whine that sounds like the video in 4th, 5th, and 6th. I do not hear anything in 1, 2 and 3, depress petal sound goes away and upon pressing the gas you hear it.

This video is not mine, but this is exactly what my car is doing.


I have read and researched so much on this topic, I cant get any straight info, Joe blow says its the rearend, and Johnny Thunder says its your Transmission, And then you have Tommy saying its your bearings in your torque tube?

So much info in these threads I don't know what is what, the other threads do not have a video.

Thnaks,

Sounds like a transmission bearing to me.

R U thinking it was due to the MGW shifter change since it showed up after the swap, it so I don't think a shifter swap would create that whine. Sounds bad

That shifter doesn't have the rubber isolater that the factory shifter has so you will hear transmission noises

That sounds like a diff. noise in video!

I was figuring that, just was not sure about the noise itself. Thought I would ask to see if anyone else has had this issue.

Thats what I thought, some people say they get transmission noises but I am unsure of the noise and thought I would ask and show a video to see if it was normal or an actual issue.

Thats what I thought but I am still unsure.

Ahh, couldn't play the video till now, yeah that's in the diff, excessive backlash to be specific. Shifter didn't cause that

More or less this is going to need a rebuild is it not?

I wouldn't waste my money on a differential "rebuild" I would gladly SPEND my money on a new differential though....3.90

not sure why the MGW shifter is even considered the issue here but thats definitely not a shifter noise .
