Hello forum,

I'm trying to figure out what the cause is for the driveline noise when the car's been running for a while. It sounds like disks spinning up against each other - I've heard other cars in the past with the same sound before. It's not the wine I hear about - that's not it. Its always been like that and it's annoying. Don't really hear anything when its cool or just taking short trips, but after a long drive you can hear it more. It sounds like it's coming from up front, around the center bearing or further up around the back of the engine. When I left off the gas I can still hear it but it fades away once I get down around 15-20 mph. I've tried geasing the bearing but doesn't do much.

The car shifts fine and I just changed the ATF oil. I've read a bunch of threads that talk about replacing the driveline but seems this is always due to the bearing needing replacement and I believe if greasing it doesn't help then it is not the bearing. Or am I wrong about that?

Thank you forum members!

 

how did you go about greasing the bearing ?

 

Gease gun and a needle. There is a small hole you can push grease straight into the bearings.

 

Off topic but just wondering what ATF fluid you used?

 

Redline all around, for everything. Expensive though. Others are also ok but I don't worry with Redline.

 

thats what i use redline
