Noisy trannie at high rpm or high-speed...humm...could it be the oil? 140-160 72

posted by  someone claiming to be Anthony H. on  Sat Apr 28 21:53 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hello,

Well, my trannie has had it's bearings changed about 3 months ago...(except for those needle bearings which can't be found anywhere.) And all the noise went away... except that I start getting noise at about 4000rpm in any gear or at going at high speed... I suspect it to be those needle bearings, but I'm too lazy to take it out again. Rightnow I use #80 oil... will an oil change help abit... it's not that noisy, but you can hear it.

What kind of oil would be better in this box?

(I suspect that #80 is too heavy for those rpms so it doesn't reach the bearings fast enough...humm...)

What do you guys think...? Any opinion would be really nice.

Thanks!!!
