fairly new trans, and it wines in 1st and 2nd sometimes 3rd but it does it when down shiftting(not engine braking) just down shift, what could cause this???
im running redline trans fluid and its filled proper i dont see why it would wine, my old trans did it too....... the way i know its the trans is if i down shift you hear it, feel it through the shifter sometimes, but if i put it in netral then it wont do it........could a pilot bearing wine loud enough to hear .......but the pillot and tob are new......????? im stump!!!!!! ..................

My t-5 doesnt whine when downshifting...it whines at other times...and has other problems...but no whining when downshifting.

Are you just talking about the sound it makes when you are trying to get the shifter into a lower gear...when you are in the act of pushing the shifter into 3rd from 4th? That whining sound is just the syncros and is pretty normal.
