103677, 3.55 is like a fine whine
Posted by Aggression, Mar-30-07 08:04 AM
Well I stretched out 4th gear in my stock tranny so I replaced it with the 3.55 tranny. Those with this swap, can you tell me if there is a slight whine in the gears? I've heard trannys with straight cut gears and they whine really loud. This is very faint and was wondering if its normal for this tranny. I know these trannys are suppose to be stronger and didn't know to what degree the gears differ from one another.

I didn't know if this difference would equate in a slight whining or not.

Awesome thread title.

I don't think the 3.55 is stronger, so much as it's geared higher. I could be wrong, though.

its stronger brian. due to its being 3.55 rather then 3.94


my tranny dont make any sounds. but then again, the car dont run, so that might be why.

Its just an ever so slight whine...nothing too loud or anything. I am not worried about it now as it does seem to be normal and probably due to the difference in the gears themselves.

I love the tranny a lot. I also found an RS throttle Cable at the junkyard so I finally got to remove my CC unit. Looks 10x's cleaner now.
