Gear whine - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jim Stanley · 09-25-2017

I have recently had a clutch kit put in my car. It runs great with no problem. Both before and after the trans was pulled there was a gear whine. It is most noticeable when letting off the throttle in higher gears. Note: The trans oil was changed using 10w60 Castrol. The shop is recommending an additive. Also please note this is a 1990 which I understand had helical gears which supposedly are notorious for whine.
Thanks for you ideas based on experience.
