Hello All:
The C-4 in my '66 vert has been getting progressively noiser.
Here are my observations: 1) Whine is always present while
engine is running and is proportional to engine speed. 2) Whine is present in any gear selected and heard when vehicle is moving and stopped. 3) Whine is present if I 'power brake' (converter turbine not turning). 4) Fluid is clear, full and doesn't smell burnt. 5) I used to not hear the whine until the transmission fluid warmed up, now I hear it as soon as engine
is started. 6) As a test, accessory belts were removed to eliminate PS pump noise, etc. Whine was still present.
This whine was not too noticable when car was bought (almost 2 years ago). But it's now gotten progressively louder and I'm sure that a ton of 'shinies' must be in the pan by now.
Could his whine be coming from the converter? If I feel the trans dip stick tube while the enine is idling, I can 'feel' the whine as I hear it. Or could this whine be coming from the C-4 pump? While in Manchester VT this past weekend for the Hildene car show, I listened to other C-4s.
They were not whining...
