Next time, add some more detail to your question, but FIRST, check your tranny fluid level. When the Transmission Fluid level is low, your vehicle will start to act REAL funky and make weird noises and your question may hint at low fluid level. If it's not that, take a close look at what the fluid looks like and smells like. And then schedule for an appointment with a trusted mechanic to check out your transmission looked at. Maybe, you just need band adjustment or fluid replaced because it's old fluid and worn out.
A worn transmission gear can cause a Chevy Impala to whine when the gears change. A bad fan belt can also cause this.
Low steering fluid can cause a steering wheel to whine when turning. A worn steering belt can also cause a steering wheel to whine when a car is being turned.
Your throw out bearing is the problem.
Low transmission fluid or a bearing is going out.
If you're new to a supercharged car then you're most likely hearing the normal whine that a supercharger makes. They will whine louder the more you accelerate. 00gtp
If the whine happens when starting to move forwards, and then stops once the vehicle is moving, it could be caused by a loose fan belt. If so, tighten the fan belt, or replace the worn belt.
Have the same troubles with a used 99 I bought..Gives me a damn headache! Checkes out perfectly..But I may have to sell cause I just can't stand the noise..Wierd vibration that I just can't find..They have a history of bearing problems..But mine checked out fine..Good luck with yours I'm out.
ok im not a 100% sure on this, but check your power steering fluid. on newer vihicles the power steering actually has something that affects the transmission. it could eventually cause it to go in to what is called a "lope mode". and i will pretty much just stay in second gear and wont shift out. Is your Bonneville supercharged? If the supercharger is going out it will also whine.
A gear meshing whine in your 1996 Oldsmobile can because by low transmission fluid. Check the transmission fluid and make sure it is at the full mark.
I should think that there is something wrong with it, You need to take it to a mechanic to investigate the problem.
Sounds like torque converter is going bad
If this is a whine that changes pitch with the rpm's of the motor, it is normally causee by your ignition system. If it's an aftermarket system that you put in the best way to cure it is to re-run either your rca's or your power wire so they are on separate sides of te vehicle. The whine is caused by interferance from the power wire affecting the signals on the rca's. If rewiring isn't an optoin or it isn't an aftermarket system, you can go to any stereo shop and they will sell you a filter that will solve this. Hope this helps.
