i hear this humming/whining sound from the passenger side like a wheel bearing is out. only happens at like 25 mph and up, i dont hear it when the clutch is pushed in, and i cant hear it on the expressway. maybe b/c its to high pitch? But heres the thing, on bumps the noise will flow with the bumps. I checked and nothing that i ca see is rubbing. I dont know what the problem is. ive had people listen to it, and nobody is sure.

It started making the noise when i put in a new itr tranny with 28k miles and replaced a shot axle for another, but im not sure how much better that axle was... the car shifts and drives fine. its just that noise...i dont have $ now to spend on a bunch of things that may be the problem. So, if anyone has had this problem and know how to fix it, please help me out and tell me how. thanks.

 

can anyone help me?

 

I am in the EXACT same boat you are in. I went to the shop today and when they took off the tranny, they thought it was the clutch, cause it was gone. So i replaced the clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing and it stopped for about 2 minutes. Then, i started hearing the sound again. I was told that it MIGHT be the mainshaft bearing. Who knows.. but it bugs the **** out of me.. it seems like i only hear it in the top gears too..

 

people are telling me the hub bearing or the axle ?????? does anyone have an idea?

 

If you step on the clutch and the noise goes away might be your tranny(sync)

 

its not the tranny the tranny is a totaly mint 01 itr tranny with 28k miles

 

did you crack open the tranny and check all the bearings? I doubt it.
Im not being a smart *** or anything, but if it was a wheel bearing you would hear it wether or not the clutch was engaged. If its ONLY when you are in gear, im going to go with a bearing in the tranny. It shouldnt be that big of a deal tho, unless it gets really bad.
