So I posted a while back about the dealership giving me the wrong fluid to put in my t-case. It was a long story, the dealer has since gone out of business, lol. Anyway, I am about to get a new tcase so I thought I would throw up a vid of what it sounds like when you get the "Death Whine". Its an OK vid, its just from my black berry, so nothing professional but you can tell that it get louder with speed and doesnt vary with rpm at all or if its in or out of gear. Anyway, here it is. You might have to turn your speakers on a lil louder.








forgot to mention its in an 06 IX RS

 

Thanks for the vid it does help me a bit but i am still soo stumped about the decel noise even though most everyone says it's NORMAL

I do not have the whine when the clutch is dpressed so maybe the ring/pinion are still ok.

My main thing is that it didn't start to make the decel noise until after a trip to the track and a little wheel hop.

I'm soo undecided if i should yank it out or leave it in.....

 

when you say decel noise is it when your downshifting, push the clutch in and coast, or take it out of gear and decel?

 

That's sounds just like an airplane on descent.

 

Mainly when cruising at a steady speed say 60mph in 4th gear and once you just relase your foot of the gas the decel noise comes on but if you step on the clutch the noise goes away.

If i downshift and don't get back on the gas immediately the decel noise is there....so basically the only way to keep the noise from occuring is to cruise w/ a very light touch of the foot on the gas pedal

 

It sounds like a normal drivetrain for an all wheel drive vehicle man. Are you sure its not normal I have heard this noise too.

 

Honestly, it almost sounds normal. I dunno, I know this is how a ****ty t-case sounds, lol. My RS is already loud enough, but with this, DAMN its loud, lol.

 

Normal. My does it with no issues...alittle wheel hp wont hurt. I have wheel hopped the **** out of mine and havent hurt it...though I dont make a practice out of it....I let out now when that happens.

 

I wouldnt drive it anymore due to the T-case locking up...and breaking the tranny,axels, or motor. I had the same issue.....Good luck!

 

Tony did you by chance listen to the vid i posted in my thread?

+1 your going to break something else

 

yea, i recorded this a couple days after it started and then stopped driving it. Im about a week off of gettin a new t-case. Im SOOOOOO STOKED! The days I have driven it i dont boost on it AT ALL, its worse than gettin blue *****!!!!!

 

Did you get wheel hop in the front or back? Also, have you tried changing the fluids in your tranny, TC, and rear diff?

Not 100% sure but it felt like the front .....i come from IRS Cobras so the second i felt the hop i let off right away.

All the gear box fluids have been changed twice and at each time there were no significant pieces of metal/shaving just the normal amount i see on all the evos that pass through the shop.

 

But have you changed the fluids since you started hearing your drivetrain whine?
