Hey I have a 98 xj, when I first give it gas I get a whining noise untill it warms up. Any ideas?

 

Are you married by any chance?

 

Lots of ideas, but a "whine" is very vague. If its whining when in park, its more than likely your belt or air intake. Is it an "air whine" or a "belt squeal whine"? If it goes away after "warming up", then its probably your belt or something to do with it, i.e., a pulley.

 

Yup what's that got to do with it?

 

It does it when I get in my rig and drive a few miles, if I let up on the gas quick it goes away. It's not a belt squeal. Thought mayb tranny related. Not really sure

 

it was a joke...

Obviously not a good one.

 

Lol

 

Haha...


Anyways...thought I'd bump this, after this weekends wheelin trip Im getting a whine as well upon acceleration. Im thinking its tranny related as my tranny just started to drip out of the bell housing. I wheeled it pretty hard this past trip through water etc...

Any ideas??

 

Take it out of 4lo

 

Haha...if only it was that simple...

 

Check the tranny fluid? If you went through water make sure it didn't get in it. Or it will burn it up.

 

Yea I checked it and it looked fine, still red and not milky or anything. I drained it anyways as it doesnt hurt to change it. Drained it 2 days ago and its still slowly dripping out of the bellhousing...

 

Front pump seal is leaking possibly knocked the pump out that could be why its whining

 

 

K thanks, looks like Ill pull the tranny and see whats going on...
