A new and somewhat disturbing sound showed up recently in my 3.0 - 6 that runs on a sidey 901 box.
The gear box innards are an unknown however, never failed me in a couple of years of daily drives on a 1.7/4 and a 2.3/4. the 6 may have awaken a weakness not previously tested to the limits / dont know...
The grapenutty sound sounds like someone is eating a bowl of bb's without milk.
The tinkie scrunchy sound is not noticeable if I drive off at a gentle pace / but who does that?
The sound is not in any other gear no matte how hard pressed. Could it be CV's giving up due to new and mighty torque never seen before on the CV balls? Again, the CV's are in good internal shape and packed with grease / unless they disintegrated internally...
Hopefully Dr. Evil sees this for, if anyone knows weird tranny sounds, he would.
Any thoughts or experiences would greatly help.
