winding noise from my diff or geabox

[Babz]

i have a 1982 toyota carina gt-turbo and when im travelling i can hear a winding kinda noise from my diff or geabox or wheelbearing but i have checked my oil in the diff and my wheel bearing seems to be ok, anyone any idea?? it also makes that noise when im rolling in neutral

Does it make the noise when you're rolling with the engine off?
Does it make it when you aren't moving but with the engine on?

[Babz]

nope it doesnt make that noise when im rolling wid my engine off and also doesnt make that noise when when my car is idling. Only when im driving or rolling in neutral with my engine on?? Usualy at speeds over 70k's

[Chrislost]

well if engine is on and the cars in neutral then dunno

if the engine is off and gears in neutral and noise happens then could be dif or gbox...

have u just noticed it..??
u can get this from low profile tyres... i get it a bit from my 35 series..and i know when my freind put 40 series on his altezza it made the same noise.......just an idea anyways....

But if you roll along with the car off and there is no noise then it cant be tyres.

If its only there when the engine is on then its going to have to be something inside the gearbox/diff. As to what it is.... I cant help you.

The fact that it doesn't make a noise when idling is annoying, that could point to it being an input shaft bearing on the gearbox or something along those lines.

Being that it makes the noise when moving in neutral, but not when sitting there idling in neutral doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. From that you would have to assuming the diff but then it should be making it while you're rolling with the engine off

Get a new gearbox and see if it goes away

checked your gearbox oil as well? could be a mainshaft bearing perhaps, not likely though.

take it to a mechanic who can see it, will make diagnosis easier and alot more accurate.

Thanx alot poeple, will check the gearbox oil and go from thea

does it make the noise in all gears or is it quieter in 4th? = bearing in gearbox maybe layshaft bearing
