i have a weird wine in my car and cant figure out what it is. I started to notice it after the track. It only does it in first gear from 2,000 rpm to 3,000 rpm. sounds like a wine. After that it goes away

anyone else have this ?

 

It's pretty common in the EVO to get a low rpm gear whine. Normally seen in 1rst and 2nd at low rpm as your describing.

It's the constant whine at speed that you need to worry about

 

Typical drivetrain whine, most AWD cars have some sort of it

 

The reason for the whine---is the gear is straight cut. This causes the slight whine you hear. Its not a design flaw or an AWD thing or in your case anything to worry about. Its typical Evo noise.

 

Couldn't have said it better

 

Did you get wheel hop at the track? Most of the time, they will start making the "whine" after gettin wheel hop on a launch.

 

In first its normal

 

I love how straight-cut sound...would be as annoying as anything if you heard it all the time, but just something about the sound is mean as hell

 

The only straight cut gear the evo has is the reverse gear so thats not the reason its making the sound. But like everyone else has said, its completely normal.

If youre that worried about it change the fluid in the trans.

 

I just changed all my drivetrain fluid and it did reduce the whine, but it's still there a little bit. Nothing to worry about. When did you change them last?

 

I didnt know evo's had stright cut gears

I changed the trans 3k ago Amsoil so i dont think that is the problem

3k ago

nope slipped the clutch so no wheel hop

 

I wouldn't worry to much about I have the same noise as well, went to the dealer they told me its okay its not going to break down on you.

 

Its normal, but it is not a straight cut gear.

My friends stock IX does it, mine does it, I dont think Ive ever heard an evo not do it lol.

 

I've only noticed it in mine in first gear, which I have heard is common.

 

That what i think. Just sound mean.
