    Default Whine from under the car

    Hey fellas

    Just recently been hearing a weird noise from my car today, I checked all the belts up front and are all good. Seems like its coming from the gearbox which is still under warranty. I'm gonna go in tomoz to get it checked out but heres a video anyways that can explain my problem.

    Hmmmmmmmmm, it sounded like a whine or burn-outs, a friend of mine had the same sound but much more quiter in his suburban on the 1st & 2nd gears, apparently it was caused by a worn torque converter. Does this sound come up on all times?

    When you say it's coming from gearbox, you mean the manual transmission? If so, it sound like a throwout bearing.
