My transmission is whining in the upper gears, 4th, 5th, 6th. It also whines in the lower gears but not as bad.
Is this normal? I really never paid attention before, but I can hear it when I'm slowly cruisin along.

I'm pretty sure its from the straight cut gears we have. In a car, they're cut at an angle so they don't whine. Its like the sound from a gear driven supercharger.

Someone told me they used to use huge straight cut gears for air raid sirens!!!
