Hi there,

I have a 2001 falcon forte windsor v8 automatic, and have had it very long and i have noticed a slight whining noise like a remote control car and only in first gear, so every time i accelerate from the lights and then the noise stops when 2nd kicks in, mind you there is no noticeable performance issue it runs very nice.
The only time i can hear the same noise just not as lound only lound enough to hear when you turn the radio off and you listen for it when i take my foot off the accelerater and let it run on with no power then when I put the foot back on it goes.
I have had the tranny oil toped up and have taken it to a tranny specialist they hooked it up to the computer and found no error codes and took it for a drive and said they the can't find a problem.
So I am stumped does anyone heard or had this before or is it quite normal for a car that has done 160000 ks.
thanks

Wouldn't worry about it , especially as yo've had a diagnostic done and had it road tested by trans . specialist . As mileage gets up , you got to expect the odd rattle / noise etc . Obviously if it got worse , then worth checking further .
