what exactly does gear whine sound like?
just got them in today frpp 3.73s and i was driving them home listening for gear whine, but i wasnt sure what exactly to look for, is it extremely noticable with the windows down? or do you only knotice it if your really looking for it? is it only audiable when your giving it gas, or is it any time the car is moving?

you will know it if you got it. you will mainly notice it cruising. acceleration and deceleration wont be as bad. normally around 40-45 will be the worst if you do have gear whine
I have gear whine from 35 on up dont notice it after 75. worst at 40

It's a sort of "whirring," or "howling," sound. It's hard to characterize on the internet w/ out being able to capture it in an audio form..
It's speed dependent too, so as your speed increases, the noise will become more pronounced.

ORIGINAL: CanzokidHow do you make it go away? I just got gears last week and mine make that sound at 40mph too.

You can't really make it go away. You CAN have your rear end rebuilt, w/ new gears, since the sound USUALLY comes from improper wear, or incorrect shimming... Sort of expensive, but it can be done..
I have though, heard that a lot of people get some appreciable gear noise no matter what gears they put in. Maybe it's the nature of the beast...
My father had mentioned this stuff called "Bardo." I think that's the name. He said a lot of the old Muscle car guys would put it in the rear diff. to quiet the gears, especially when they were pushing some real HP/TQ. It doesn't do much, but insulate the mating surfaces, and cuts down on harmonic vibrations.
