10 speed transmission whine
Hey guys,
I came across some info on this in other threads, but felt it was best to start my own. I just wanted to get some feedback from you 10 speed owners concerning whine noise from the transmission. How many of you have it, and how has it been fixed (or attempted to be).
Im actually a Camaro ZL1 owner. Just picked up my 2018 about a month ago, and it's had a noticeable whine since day one. I originally just assumed it was supercharger noise, as it isn't completely out of character for this car. But I have come to realize that it's from the transmission. It's noticeable at idle or just off idle at lower speeds. I found a video posted by member RailroadJack, and mine is nearly identical in pitch.
Anyway, I just figured I'd post here as you guys are experiencing the same issue -- and with the F150 being a much higher volume vehicle than the ZL1, maybe the answer would come here first. I really don't want to have my transmission ripped out and torn apart (especially if it's a normal characteristic), but if there is a known issue and fix I'd probably go for it. It definitely bothers me knowing it's a transmission noise.
Hopefully we can get some good info and a solution one way or another. Thanks

I know you wanted to start your own thread but this one has the same information your're asking about.

I don't have a 10-speed (2017 5.0 model), but I do recall that the Ford 4R70W (4-speed auto) that was used in a bazillion cars, including police and taxi, ALWAYS had a 1st gear wine. Disappeared after shifting to 2nd gear. It was just a characteristic of the tranny. Hopefully that's what we're dealing with here, too.

You mean Turbos--the F150's do not have supercharger!

I know there's at least a few guys here working with dealerships to try and resolve this. Hopefully they will chime in.

I have a 2018 V8 with the 10 speed transmission and I do have the whining noise.
Mine has 2K miles on it.
The noise happens when the torque converter opens and it seems get worst when the transmission is hot (normal temp.).
I noticed too that the shifting when the transmission is in normal temp. is not as smooth as when it is cold.
There is no light on, just the noise.... I think is the transmission pump but I'll take it to the dealer and see what they say...
