04 Mstng GT gear whine
I just got my gears installed and now there is this anoying and loud whine to the ride. ive probably driven it like 80 miles since the install but when i get on it, she whines i feel a slight vibration in the shift ****. Any advice what this is. Bad installation or just a brake in period thing?

If your getting gear whine period. take it back either get your money back for the install and take it to another shop or have them redo it properly.
In a stock or mostly stock mustang the gear whine should be either nonexistent or barley audible.

most gears have somewhat of a whine to em. when you say its annoying im assuming its loud and which it shouldnt be. it should be very faint at cruising speeds with the radio off at most. with the radio on or under any kind of acceleration it shouldnt be able to be heard.

Well the gears are Motive 3.73 and a bearing kit as well. I took it back yesterday to the guy that did the job and he said oh its just a break in period thing. BS. When i left the day he returned it to me i reset my trip odometer and ive gone 60 and i still havetn recalibrated the speedometer. thanks for the knowledge

I've heard people say any gear that isnt FRPP will be have more noise, but a whine can go either way. As far as the shift ****, the installer probably didnt mark the d-shaft when he took it out...
Have the backlash double checked.

Well here's the latest. Well i took my car back yesterday and we set another day to get the gears looked at. Which was today. No Call. WTF. This dude is pissin me off. The guy is still talking about its the transmission, ive never had probs with the trany, Its this shop on Kraft st. ALL in ONe. I dont know if he used a friction modifier. I dropped it off and picked it up you know. I mean i could have done them my self but i didnt want to **** it all up. Thats why i paid and thats what i get. ****. well ill be checkin often thanks to you all.
