2014 SS M6 trans noise
My car is making a whining, grindy type of noise when in gear in 3rd,4th,5th,and 6th. it whines like when a diff is going out but quieter. I push down the clutch and the noise goes away. No noise in neutral.
I have never powershifted my car nor do i get on it too much. I did have my radiator replaced recently and i know that there are trans cooler lines going into it. Maybe those fittings leaked? Are those type of noises associated to running a trans with low oil? my trans temps are fine but im scared to drive it to the shop if im running it dry

The manual transmission does not have a cooler.
If the enough fluid has leaked out to make a difference, the leak should be obvious, unless you are new to the car and someone cleaned up the evidence in order to scam you. Another possibility is that someone put in the wrong fluid. It always helps to state your car's history when asking for advice. |

I do agree it could be the wrong or low or no oil in the trans.

This may sound weird but I had a similar noise and it would always go away when pressing on the clutch pedal so I thought for sure that it had to be an internal bearing. Even the dealership told me it was the pilot bearing (which our vehicles do not have) and so they replaced every bearing in my trans at about 15k, still had the noise.
Turns out it was a simply rubber bushing under the shifter. It could just be that noise, although without a video with sound it's really hard to tell. To be honest though, it sounded exactly like a pilot bearing does on its way out. If it sounds like a bearing it just might be that. Took me and the dealership about 5 trips to figure it out. -EDIT- The part is actually built into the shifter assembly, but if I remember correctly the dealership recommends to just rebuild it. I would just upgrade with a new aftermarket shifter assembly, as mine started making the same noise again soon afterwards, but not as badly. Last edited by TommyTheCat; 10-17-2018 at 02:29 PM. |

Update: it was the differential. Leaked out all the oil through the front seal and cooked the bearings, and im sure damaged the gears. I was involved in an accident a month ago and im thinking that may have been the root cause of the issue. Hopefully insurance pays up

Which rubber bushing?
Sorry to resurrect an old post, but this is the exact info I'm looking for. I'm having this exact same thing happen in my 2010 SS LS3/M6 with 21,000 miles. What rubber bushing are you referencing?
