UT04GT

Yesterday morning it was about 20 degrees when I went to do some christmas shopping. I pull out of the driveway and put it in 1st. As I accelerate through first I hear a loud humming sound from the engine bay. It goes away when I engage the clutch and returns when I put it in second gear. This goes on for about 2 or 3 minutes then it quit. I am still wondering what caused that and if I need to get it checked out, any help?

edit - as it was going on I kept engaging the clutch and the sound would go away then return when I disengaged the clutch. Something in the tranny for sure but what is it?

Did you let the car heat up and the oils get warmed before you took off?

Soaring

At that temperature, I would let it warm for at least 5 minutes before driving it. If it is an automatic, put it in drive and put your foot on the brake to allow the tranny fluid to circulate for a few minutes before you drive it.

I hear thats normal. I wouldnt worry about it too much, just see if you cant give your car a minute or two to warm up before driving in 20 degree weather.
