The whine is power on only. It's always
whined while I've had it. The only thing left to whine is the R @ P.
But I guess it's a shot in the dark with a used one because the shop might think
it looks good but it might whine anyway.
Can someone tell me if the shop should have known
by looking at the R @ P that it would whine? My original complaint was the
whine.
Thx,
Chris

Subject: Re: IML: sure grip whine
I don't think you ever stated, if the noise or whine is with power on,
power off, or coast. If it made the same sound before service, it was probably
repaired before and not set - up right. In that case the ring and pinion
would wear incorrectly, and make noise. If the service done now, simply
re-shimed to the old set-up, or possibly correct, the noise will continue. Any
adverse whine or noise is tell-tale premature ware. If a used ring&pinion
are installed, very careful set-up should be done, or the same problem will
exist, since the gears already have a ware pattern set. The standard
2.76-2.94-3.23 should be whisper quiet. Dave.
