A leak here is quite common. With a new clean filter the pump does not work as hard to pump the fluid. In the end a rear end is just gears like a tranny. I think it is stamped on the dipstick as well. If you need to add to it, you have to use Mercon V. The gentleman at aamco called an out of area Ford dealer and told them that the mileage was too low and the car to expensive for these kind of troubles.
Once everything is clean and dry, start the engine and start looking for the source of the leak. Little by little the whining noise is lasting longer and longer. Many noises can be normal or not affect operation. Install an External Transmission Oil Cooler As you know by now, excessive heat is the quickest and most common cause of premature transmission failure. It makes a rubbing noise when turning left or right, but when going straight there was no noise.
I believe there is a safety device that requires a foot on the brake that should be required in all cars. See for more information on how this works. All internal fluid leaks require the transmission to be removed from the vehicle in order to make the repair. Repair costs for these type damages are high because the transmission must be removed from the vehicle and disassembled. I've driven it about 2500 miles since the wine started and it seems to be operating just fine. This is due to the difference in the amount of labor that is involved in removing and re-installing the transmission. Heated brakes can also put off a burning smell as well.
The noise increases with engine speed, not vehicle speed. Be very careful here as the heat build up from towing will ruin your transmission. Listen for clicking noises when turning around corners. I have notice a whining noise that happens when the car is engaged in reverse or drive. I heard that some people have gone over 200K with the whine and been ok.
Hopefully can get it put back together after work tomorrow and have a Solved not just an update. A broken transmission mount or engine mount can also cause a similar vibration. I have notice a whining noise that happens when the car is engaged in reverse or drive. It is related to fuel control, computer, emmissions control systems. The not so easy to find leaks are normally hidden by other parts of the transmission, engine or the undercarriage. I would suggest having a professional from Your Mechanic come to your home to take a look at the car and check your.
However, the noise tapers off once I get to the 3rd gear I believe. I had that whining noise and it was the alternator making the noise through the radio. Most vehicle problems, including automatic transmission problems, reveal themselves in one way or another, e. This is my second Expedition and I noticed a similar sound with a 2000 model. They just plain flat overworked it.
On a search of the forums I found a 05 F150 with the noise as described that was fixed by replacing the torque converter. Sometimes, when a torque converter fails, it literally explodes. There is only 58,000 miles on the vehicle, less than 30,000 since the last problem. That may not be the case for you, but it's worth noting. It seems a bit louder on the driver side. I test drove this vehicle at low engine speeds for about ten minutes and upon returning to the workshop, the whine was gone but when I increased the idle, a sharp grinding sound was heard but also immediately went away. Or it was toasted, then they rebuilt the clutches so it goes again, but the gears whine.
These are the ordinary sounds that you are familiar with. By different, it could be a completely new sound or one of the same sounds you always hear but maybe its louder than before or it happens more often than before. Vibration became louder and I took it to trusted mechanic at aamco who told me that the Ford car I bought had problems with that particular transmission and that an expensive fluid called merchron 5 very expensive fluid was to be put into them. They have no cooler so if you overwork it big time think long uphill towing way over limit then you get the same affect as running it low on fluid. If after cleaning the transmission and undercarriage you still cannot locate the source of the leak then you may have to use the leak detection dye. The design of the pump causes it to whine when turning the steering wheel.
