GodspeedGehenna Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hey all - recently joined the club. Bought a 2007 350z about a month ago. It's done just over 26,000 miles and seems to be in great condition. However, in the last couple of weeks I've noticed an engine whine when the car is idling in neutral. The sound disappears when the clutch is depressed. The sound seems to be getting louder as the weeks have gone on. Heres: It seems to change pitch with the engine RPMs. I'm assuming this is a worn input shaft bearing? Any insight would be great - cheers!

GodspeedGehenna Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Ha - I've actually found a thread here: http://my350z.com/fo...-it-normal.html with an identical noise. The consensus is that it's a normal transmission sound, particularly when cold. Edited February 27, 2017 by GodspeedGehenna 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis_UK Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Could also have had a SMF fitted. Loads of chatter with them. I myself only experience transmission whine on deceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty6Speed Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Yeah, they all whine a bit... Buy an offensively loud exhaust and you won't be bothered by it again 😠Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4nn13 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Omg thank christ I found this thread, I knew it had a slight note difference from when I bought it but I seemed to notice it alot more today doing EXACTLY the same as that video and thought oh crap what's wrong with it as I've not had the car long! Mines an 07 as well so perhaps is a special extra for cars of this year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
