high pitched noise in every gear
recently i have noticed a high pitched noise in every gear. is that normal?
at first i thought it was just my greddy exhaust but i remembered the sound before when i had the OEM exhaust. when i tried to pinpoint the noise, it seems like it is coming from the front of the car. i thought it was normal at first, but now it is somewhat getting annoying.
in 6th gear, i usually only hear it when i am around 2k rpm, any lower or higher it goes away. it is like that in every gear, i just dont remember what rpm it happens at because i usually dont cruise in any of them besides 6th.

But back to the problem, I'm not sure when this started happening, but I'm sure I didn't happen when I bought it (2nd owner), but this high pitch sound started happening way before any mods were added to he car.

Apparently next week there's going to be a dyno meet in SoCal. I believe Charles R. Hill, the owner of BHR, is going to be there. Maybe you could go with your car and bring a 6-pack for the helpers.

Buy Redline for the transmission and Redline or Royal Purple for the limited slip differential. You can do it yourself. Do a search on transmission oil DIY. Several good threads will take you step by step.
