when I am driving in the cold weather between 2k and 4k rpm's it whines.. It sounds like a high pitch whine.. anyone else with this problem?

 

yes. i had the same problem... take it to the dealer. brand new transmission on the house. thats if u have warranty

 

Yeah I did, then I slapped it around a bit and made it feel bad about itself.

It's quiet now. Same thing works with women.

 

yeah, i already got one tranny a while back,, It is over 5 years old now so my extended warranty is out...

 

my car right now screeches real loud when i go faster than 30 miles an hour. i think its the transmission too. hope we can get an answer

 

OMFG

Are you serious? It whined on me when it was -20C (-4F) and it whined but it seemed like the whine came from the rear end.

I have warranty until June so I should get it checked.

 

could it be.. that your tranny fluid is COLD? does it go away when its warm?

 

I have something similar going on to what Cheston is saying...when I've had my car parked in the cold for a long time, when I start up is whines and screeches at about 2.5~3K rpm...then goes away when it warms up...

Is this normal...?

 

Cars are kind of like people in that when they are freezing they don't tend to work perfectly. Some noises are to be expected in extreme cold.

 

Yeah, I agree...but I'm talking about southern california 60 degrees cold...I'm not sure sure how cold it gets in OP Houston...

 

its normal

 

I see...I tought you meant like 0 degrees like it is here now! 60 would be a different story.

 

3rd and 4th seem to do this all the time, mine does this , and has always done this. The 09 (i believe) tranny is worse than the original tranny.

 

In hondas, it's usually the differential fluid. Swap out the differential fluid and see if it makes a difference.

 

Mine is doing the same thing in sixth gear around 3k rpm. It's loud as hell and only happens when throttle is being applied. If I let off the gas it stops. It's definitely the tranny and not the differential (although the differential was loud also until I changed the fluid recently).

I'll be flushing out the tranny fluid and will let you know if it makes a difference. Now that I got rid of the potenzas and put dynamat in the rear it's the loudest thing on the road at 85mph.

 

It happened to me in the cold morning too, but it's gone once it's warmed up.

 

those with this problem, check in here (confirm symptoms on post 18):

i get the same thing. its annoying but it goes away after a few minutes of driving.

 

I had the same problem, turns out i needed a new tranny.
Luckily I had warranty, after the swap I still heard a whining around 2ks (give or take) and I live in Florida so the cold isnt bad.
Its normal to have a little whine but if its really loud you should definitly take it to the stealership

 

stealerships don't know anything about this. They just keep replacing trannies but it doesn't fix it. We need to figure this one out on our own so we can start going to the dealers knowing what we're talking about.
