Re: Is the Whine really the differential?

Reed,
I have brought this exact issue to my dealer's attention and they are stumped. 6th gear, about 2500-3000rpm when on the gas....hoot,whine....then it spread to 5th gear and then 4th gear....took a few weeks for me to really nail down the exact stimuli...
Supposedly, it's an imbalanced driveshaft(if sound is heard in multiple gears) or a defective tranny (only in 6thgear, which calls for a new tranny). My dealership didn't do anything to fix this....and I've gone through two tailshaft seals in the past month....still they do nothing...just shrug their shoulders and say they'll call TAC and make a report.
And some wonder why I've had it...
Good luck to you, Reed, I hope your service techs can help you.
