I just switched trannies and it was fine for about 10 miles, then second gear started making a winding noice like it does when you are in reverse. Does anybody know what this is, or how I could fix it? Whenever I drive it now after about 10 minutes I get a check engine light. . I have a 90 DX hatch and I put a 91 Si tranny in it if that helps at all. And does anyone know how big of a gear difference they are. It feels like 1st winds out way quicker. Help me out guys. Thanks

 

uhh you have an invisible turbo... DUH!


lol no i really don't know.... might be a bad tranny... my si tranny never did that in my DX

 

gears are just winding, its normal. Just drive it, it will wear in. Make sure its properly lubed too.

 

i get a winding noise when i reverse. thats standard for ya

 

My old Si tranny with a bad mainshaft bearing would make that noise, check to see if you are also getting a noise when you are in neutral with your foot off the clutch.

 

I second that, when i put an Si tranny on my friends VX it was the same thing, same noise, etc. We changed out the bearing and all was well, good luck
