[s-cars] RE: 1st gear whine

[Gabriel Caldwell]

I am impressed by your knowledge of Yugo gear whine.  My second Yugo
came with a busted transmission.  I swapped in the transmission from a
car that had been run low on gear oil.  It had the whine you describe
for about 140,000km before grenading a couple months back.  My S4 had a
slight 1st gear whine when I bought it.  Swapping the fluid seemed to
quiet it a bit and it definitely hasn't gotten worse in two years (it's
barely audible).  I also have a 6 speed waiting in the wings.

Purests (engineers) may disagree, but fluid is allegedly of the 'life of
vehicle' type.  Redline *will* produce slight shifting 'notchiness' when
cold, but then is verrrrry nice once warm (RL MT90 in CMG now).  Others
have reported good result with BG Syncroshift II (II, I believe) too.
FWIW my fluid looked 100% fine upon tranny teardown, I was kinda pissed
after all the treachery I'd devoted toward it's demise.

Sounds like you've got the 'good noise' (best described as a bucket of
bolts sound, rather than a high pitched whizzy whine like an old Yugo
would make)...  let the Hammerings begin!  I'm telling you I was no joke
downright ruthless (*ruthless*) with mine prior to removal and teardown
revealed no trace of anything.  What a let down 8-)...

No card in spokes sound, it sounds like first gear is a straight cut. 
I'm going to start Hammering, I'm so happy now!
I'm guessing I should I still go with redline or at least change the
gear oil?
