There's been a noise (whine) coming from my gearbox area for the past couple of weeks. Only when the car's cold & goes within 15 minutes.
Now the last few days when it's cold I'm using an extra 2000 revs to pull off when the car's a bit cold. There's also no pull from stationary. Again this goes when the car's warmed up & I've no problems.
So before I;
a) breakdown b) get too stressed over nothing c) Scrap the car with no good reason; or d) Let my local garage have a look.
Any suggestions here?
It's done 116k miles & has been serviced regular... anyone else had this problem with an Escort automatic, which has also since I've had the car (8 years), been a problem putting it into drive just after the car's started - always tends to jerk & then stall - but if the car's left ticking over a bit, it's fine.
Anyone?
Thanks
PJ
