I drive an Evo VIII with the SSL package. Only have an AEM shortram intake and a Forge BOV on the car. When I drive the car at low-mid rpms on first to third gear I gear a whirring sound coming out of my car. I've asked many people about this and I get answers ranging from "it's completely normal" to "your tranny is going out". I was wondering if I could get some more thoughts from other evo owners.

 

when you accelerate? Decelerate? Do you hear it in neutral?

 

I hear it when I accelerate and decelerate.

 

Have you done any fluid changes on the diff and transfer case?

 

No I haven't.

 

I have the same thing is it louder say in first and even if you have the clutch in but it's in first you can hear it it almost sounds like your driving in reverse lol I was told by several ppl it's normal I know it sounds un normal to me too but I had it looked at and all was well and I only have 38k on my 03 they changed my fluids an it kinda went alway

 

In first gear, some whining while accelerating is normal. I think it has to do with the gear in the tranny.

 

Yea it's normal I have it mainly 1st-3rd even while clutch is pushed in I was just seeing if you were having te same thing as me like I said I was told its just fine an when I did a full flush and changed all my fluids it made a slight difference

Sorry if the first post seemed like I was asking the same thing I'm half asleep lol I was trying to say if it sounds just like my sounds it might be just fine good luck man and try changing the fluids it's helps
