daver clasper Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi folksHave noticed this since removing front carpets (as get wet), a whine when O/D engaged.G/B oil recent and full. Clean O/D first and second filter.Is this usual, or maybe nothing to worry about, or maybe look more deeply into it, as may be removing G/B, due to a pos clutch issue.Any advice brill please.Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StagNL Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Mine has always whined. The overdrive in my uncles Mack R700 whines too. Thought it was inherent in the design...Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 All gears whine to some extent, just some rather more than others. The overdrive planetary gears are slant-cut, so they're not loud, but they do whine a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Some do it, some not (or at least not enough to notice). I wouldn't worry about it unless it's getting steadily louder.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 It only got louder when you took the carpet off?I'd put the carpet back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
