johnopaulo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi folks, need a little brain power on this one. My ford ka which is an 05 plate 1.3 5 speed manual has developed this whine noise only in 5th gear and not all the time. Any ideas before i go and change out the tranny and find I still have the noise? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 these gearboxes are usually bullitproof first thing to do would be to get the oil level checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnopaulo Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 The gearbox oil do you mean? or both engine and gearbox? So you dont think I need a new gearbox? and if the oil levels are fine what else may make this happen? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 check the gearbox oil if this is ok its hard to say what the trouble could be, a local gearbox specalist might be able to help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
